Annual Report 2015 ANNUAL REPORT a report on donor impact in the Archdiocese of Brisbane Archbishop Mark Coleridge FOREWORD FROM ARCHBISHOP MARK COLERIDGE It’s astonishing to think of the effect the Catholic Church has had in Brisbane since the first bishop came from Ireland in 1861. When Bishop James Quinn arrived in Brisbane, his first question was, “Where is the city?” He had every reason to ask, because Brisbane was hardly more than a shanty town, far from the bustling metropolis we know today. Bishop Quinn and the five Mercy Sisters who followed from Dublin nourished the community in faith; they planted the seeds. They were not well-resourced; the seeds they sowed were humble. The Catholic community here has known hard times – not just in the early days but through it all. Our Catholic forebears never baulked at bold decisions or hard work, which is why the Archdiocese has been so blessed. Through all the challenges and changes, the power of faith has triumphed. We need only look at the buildings – the schools, the hospitals, the cathedral and the many churches – to see the physical signs of what has been accomplished. But the story continues; it’s not just a thing of the past. In the pages that follow you can read the story of what faith is achieving now, a story of bold decisions, hard work and great generosity. Today we see an Archdiocese that has borne fruit because of seeds “In the pages that follow planted by those who went before us. To them we owe an immense debt of gratitude. Following in their footsteps in very different times, you can read the story we hope and pray that in the soil of south-east Queensland we too can plant good seed that will bear great fruit. of what faith is achieving I ask that you join me in holding in prayer all those who have spread God’s love and mercy by sharing their resources with the Catholic now, a story of bold Foundation or dedicating their energies to its indispensable work. decisions, hard work and As always in the Lord, great generosity.“ Archbishop of Brisbane 2 Fr Paul Chandler baptises Monica at Mary Immaculate Church, Annerley Ekibin Catholic Parish “Through all the challenges and changes, the power of faith has triumphed.“ 3 Snapshot of 2015 SNAPSHOT OF 2015 $7.3million DONATED IN 2015 cations Annual Catholic Campaign Vo 3 funds $2,828,261 PARI SH 100 ES sation parishes and Church eli 5 funds ng $ a 429,229 communities v E 2 funds $627,508 T N N E O M I E T R I A T C E U 2 funds R D $ E D 2 funds 4,038,358 N A $ H 2,535,574 LT EA PRIESTS' H $1,133,590 raised through the Archdiocese of Brisbane in the Endowment Annual Catholic Campaign 14 Funds aith s g f oc $ in i et iv Catholic 133,390 L y Foundation distributed to grant recipients Number of welcomes monthly donors $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ increased by 1313 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ NEW DONORS 1099 grants awarded to parishes 16 and grassroots ministries 4 33 Mapping the gifts across the 96 Childers Archdiocese of Brisbane Hervey Bay 61 17 Donors Maryborough Gayndah 7431 in 2015 Others 96 119 Unknown Caboolture 70 4 21 Schools Gympie 20 Staff orkplacew giving Murgon 50 Noosa District 53 39 Diocese of Cairns Burpengary 32 Maroochydore 142 Diocese of Rockhampton Kingaroy Nambour 57 156 40 Diocese of Toowoomba Nanango 187 Caloundra 92 Diocese of Townsville Redclie 218 11 Stanley River 75 Petrie Section 2 Bracken Pine 65 Ridge Rivers Bald Hills 5 62 Sandgate 53 Brighton Esk Albany 110 Creek 43 Geebung Section 1 Aspley 124 45 115 Banyo Brisbane Nundah 129 103 Gatton Laidley Grovely Samford 167 Chermside Zillmere Mitchelton Wavell Heights Beaudesert Wynnum 84 Boonah 30 74 Manly 48 23 Birkdale 61 47 Cleveland Alexandra Hills Capalaba Ipswich Darra 97 Jindalee Leichhardt 68 North Ipswich 50 Rosewood 73 Rochedale Victoria Point 25 171 63 Inala 2 Section Goodna Woodridge 39 Booval 11 14 8 Daisy Hill 53 Springeld Kingston Regents Marsden 44 Loganholme Park 54 Beenleigh 1 n 108 52 io Staord Kedron t 104 66 c Clayeld 91 e Lutwyche S Wooloowin Hendra Hamilton 153 21 Wilston 97 Dorrington Gordon Park Jubilee 10 68 St John’s Wood 51 The Gap 231 Bowen Hills Coomera Bulimba 1 43 Emmanuel 67 New Farm 53 Runaway Bay 62 Cannon Hill Sth Brisbane 211 West End 79 Dutton Park Brisbane Cathedral 169 Kangaroo Point Carina Toowong Southport 74 155 69 117 59 Coorparoo Camp Hill 43 52 6Beaudesert 185 Indooroopilly St Lucia Mt Carmel Regina Caeli Nerang 119 Buranda St James Surfers Kenmore 90 Paradise 87 21 Annerley Yeronga Holland Park Mt Gravatt 60 Burleigh Moorooka 175 124 Salisbury Heads Corinda 142 Upper Mt Gravatt Wishart Coolangatta 76 97 Tugun Darra 267 Jindallee Sunnybank Acacia Ridge 68 Rochedale 5 The Annual Catholic Campaign Summary of your contributions to Your gifts to the Annual Catholic Campaign made a THE ANNUAL difference to the lives of CATHOLIC CAMPAIGN real people Everyday people came together supporting the Church,s mission Right across the Archdiocese of Brisbane the faithful came together to support the Annual Catholic Campaign in 2015.

Y.M. (Anne) McLay. Now - as in his lifetime - Bishop James Quinn is a controversial, and to many an unattractive, though highly significant figure of the foundation years of the Catholic Church in Queensland. My interest was aroused in discovering his true personality through my work in the history of Catholic education in this State, especially that of Mother Vincent Whitty and the first Sisters of Mercy. After several years of research I am still ambivalent towards him. I feel, however, this ambivalence is due to the paradoxes inherent in his personality rather than to any deficiency in my research. I have tried to show in this thesis the complexity of his character that these paradoxes caused. Bishop Quinn died in 1881, but the foundations of his work in Queensland were laid by 1875. To appreciate the shape of the Church that soared grandly from these foundations, to understand the conflict and the turmoil that surrounded the man and his creation, the bishop must be first seen in his original environment, Ireland and Rome.

  • Interchurch Marriages
    Interchurch Marriages Their Ecumenical Challenge and Significance for our Churches Report of the National Dialogues between the Roman Catholic Church and the Uniting Church in Australia 1999 This report has been examined by the Committee for Doctrine and for Christian Unity of the Catholic and Uniting Churches and has been approved by the highest national bodies of the two churches viz. the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference and the UCA Assembly Standing Committee on behalf of the Uniting Church in Australia Assembly. CONTENTS Introduction 1. The Phenomenon of Interchurch Marriage 2. Marriage 3. Belonging 4. Baptism 5. Eucharistic Hospitality 6. Pastoral Care 7. Topics for Further Dialogue Conclusion Introduction The subject of our work, Interchurch Marriages: their Ecumenical Challenge and Significance for our Churches, comes from a number of contexts. First, it comes from the context of the ongoing dialogue between our two churches. This began in Melbourne early in 1978, not long after the inauguration of the Uniting Church in Australia in June 1977, which was a union of the Congregational Union of Australia, the Methodist Church of Australasia, and the Presbyterian Church of Australia. That dialogue was the continuation of two previous Melbourne dialogues, one Catholic/Presbyterian and the other Catholic/Methodist, which had preceded it by a number of years; members of both the previous groups became involved in the Catholic/Uniting Church dialogue from 1978. During the fifteen years of the work (1978‐1992) this Melbourne dialogue produced work in three areas. Initially, it re‐examined the agreed statements on baptism made by the Catholic Church with the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches.

  • My Lord Bishop, Reverend Fathers, Fellow Religious, Brothers And
    “A glorious future for the infant diocese of Armidale”: The emerging Church in New England Historical Oration on the 150th Anniversary of the Installation of the First Bishop Cathedral of Sts Mary & Joseph, Armidale, 9 March 2021 My Lord Bishop, Reverend Fathers, fellow religious, brothers and sisters in Christ: it is a great honour to take part in your sesquicentenary celebrations and let me say that I think you are all looking very good for 150-year-olds! 1. Before Armidale was… Fr Therry 32 years they had waited for a priest. Sure, a convict priest (Fr James Dixon) had been permitted to celebrate Mass for ten months in 1803;1 a renegade priest (Fr Jeremiah O’Flynn) conducted a semi-public ministry for six months in 1818;2 and other convict priests and passing ships’ chaplains engaged in clandestine ministry from time to time. But it was only with the arrival of Frs Philip Conolly3 and John Joseph Therry4 in 1820, as official Catholic chaplains to the colony, that the Catholics of Australia were guaranteed the sacraments and pastoral leadership going forward.5 The faith and pastoral achievements of Fr Therry and the other clergy who came after him were remarkable. But many of them were also what we used to call ‘characters’. When Australia’s first Dominican, Christopher Dowling OP, arrived in 1831 to take over as official chaplain, Therry locked him out of the presbytery. On one occasion Therry dragged Dowling from the sanctuary before coming to his senses and apologizing. On another there was a public tug-o-war over the collection box! It was also alleged he had three heavies beat Dowling up in front of St Mary’s and steal his hat and watch! The meek Dominican then retreated to the relative safety of Western Sydney.

Reflections on the Love and Reason Relationship1 All the great Catholic universities of the world were founded on the belief that the human person is a creature made in the image and likeness of God since the book of Genesis, the very first book of the Bible, makes this claim. It is a belief that Jews and Christians share. Most theologians agree that being made according to this divine blue-print means that we have all been endowed with rational intellects with a capacity to discern truth, free wills with an appetite for goodness and an affective dimension of our spiritual selves with a capacity to love, most commonly known as the human heart.
