Who does Pastoral Works support?

Every year, your donations to Pastoral Works Broken Bay support key Diocesan ministries, educational institutions, and pastoral care programs that change lives.

CCD Ministry

1. Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD)

In our Diocese, more than 700 volunteer catechists who have received specialised training provide religious education to over 12,000 Catholic students attending public primary and secondary schools in our local parish communities. CCD provides regular resources and newsletters for the students and their families. It is a vital evangelisation role and a vibrant, enriching, and rewarding ministry. Without your support, thousands of our young people in our Diocese would not receive Catholic education.

Hospital Chaplaincy

2. Hospital Chaplaincy & Pastoral Care

In the last financial year, our Priests and CatholicCare Pastoral Care Practitioners engaged with around 2,000 individuals (including patients, their families/friends/carers, and hospital staff) across the seven hospitals in which they minister, representing around 5,000 pastoral visits. Their special ministry supports patients and their families when they are at their most vulnerable. Sometimes, it means a simple conversation, a listening ear, or providing prayerful and sacramental support.
