As you move through the pages of this magazine, you will see the dedication and service to the community demonstrated by so many in the Church. BY JUDE HENNESSY It is something that we need to always prayerfully reflect upon as we encounter the personal love and mercy of God, and, in turn, we love those who God brings into our lives. In Australia, the Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of health, community and aged care services, education and welfare. Day in and day out, these people serve the faithful, the sick, the elderly, the young and the disadvantaged.

By assuming our humanity, taking on our sin, bringing himself to the cross, giving Himself over, pouring Himself out, Jesus washes, redeems, and purchases this very humanity, our humanity, that He assumed. He then offers us, like Himself (as Him- self) to His Heavenly Father. Praise be to God for His Mercy. The Divine Mercy of Jesus flowing from His Most Sacred Heart flows upon us and the whole world.

  • Inquiry Into Reproductive Health Care Reform Bill 2019
    Submission No 20 INQUIRY INTO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL 2019 Organisation: Catholic Bishops of New South Wales Date Received: 13 August 2019 13 August 2019 The Hon. M.S. Mallard M.L.C. Sent via email: [email protected] Dear Mr Mallard Re: Reproductive Health Care Reform Bill 2019 Please find enclosed a submission to the Standing Committee on Social Issues on behalf of myself and the Catholic Bishops of New South Wales. The Catholic community is the largest religious denomination in Australia with more than one in five Australians identifying as Catholic. There are more than 1,800,000 Catholics in NSW alone. We operate 11 hospitals and more than 60 aged care and nursing homes. More than 310,000 students are educated in approximately 600 Catholic schools in NSW, with thousands more studying at our two Catholic universities. As Australia’s largest non-government operator of hospitals, aged and community care services, the Catholic Church provides about 10 per cent of the country’s health care services, including considerable services to pregnant women and babies. We have a long and proud history of providing holistic care for mothers and children in this state. Our position is borne of experience. This submission is necessarily yet unfortunately rushed, due to the lack of notice provided to the general public about the intention to introduce the Reproductive Health Care Reform Bill 2019 (Bill), its expedited passage through the Legislative Assembly, and the two-week timeframe from the announcement of this inquiry to its reporting date. Most Rev.
