“When we live out a spirituality of drawing nearer to others and seeking their welfare, our hearts are opened wide to the Lord’s greatest and most beautiful gifts. Whenever we encounter another person in love, we learn something new about God. Whenever our eyes are opened to acknowledge the other, we grow in the light of faith and knowledge of God.” (Evangelii Gaudium 272)

​Thank you for thinking of us this Advent/Christmas season. Your gift in support of our work at the Catholic Pastoral Centre helps the Diocese in its mission to seek the welfare of others. We grow in our Christian faith when we show the love of Christ to people through the building of parish communities and the offering of programs to nurture our faith. ​We are truly grateful for your support.
