For your parish

As well as sharing stories of people living out their faith, Australian Catholics aims to be a resource for parishes looking to explore issues of faith more deeply.

Each edition of the magazine includes an Explorations piece looking at some of the questions Catholics ask, as well as reflections on a number of topics relating to faith and everyday living.

With each edition, we will be posting a reflection from the magazine for parishes and prayer groups. The resources can be used in parish newsletters, or shared in discussion groups.

Sign up as a member of the Australian Catholics community to receive parish reflection resources via e-mail with each issue.
