Fr Fernando Montano, our Episcopal Vicar for Social Welfare writes in the report:
“As we present this annual report for Catholic Care Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, we want share with you the efforts we are making to live out the invitation of the Pope to be messengers of hope for those who are in need or feel they have lost all hope.
“We want to continue to make ours the words that the Pope wrote in the document that declares the Holy Year, “Spes non confundit” (Hope does not disappoint).
“The Christian community should be at the forefront in pointing out the need for a social covenant to support and foster hope, one that is inclusive and not ideological, working for a future filled with the laughter of babies and children, in order to fill the empty cradles in so many parts of our world.
“All of us, however, need to recover the joy of living, since men and women, created in the image and likeness of God (cf. Gen 1:26), cannot rest content with getting along one day at a time, settling for the here and now and seeking fulfilment in material realities alone.”
Read about how we are committed to providing compassionate, supportive care and being “messengers of hope” to those in our community when it’s needed most.
