Get to know a member of our Committee.

Carmel, please share what areas of Pastoral Ministry you are engaged in?

I am the Regional Co-Ordinator of the Nepean Region with the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD). In my role I support Special Religious Educators (SREs) who teach in State Schools in their parishes. I am also a Minister of the Word for my local parish.

Why are you passionate about Pastoral Ministry?

I feel that all baptised should be enabled and encouraged to fulfil their baptismal call to be ‘priest, prophet and king’ using their individual gifts. I hope in some way I help to make this happen.

What’s your idea of a perfect day?

A perfect day for me is spending time with my husband, children and sisters and their families sharing a meal, having a good laugh and just being together.

Evangelisation in our Faith Communities

In the 2016 Census we discovered that the fastest growing ‘belief’ in Australia was non-belief, that is, those who identified as having no religion. While this cohort has increased, those identifying as Catholic decreased and those who practice their faith decreased even further. So how can a local Catholic Parish or Community turn the tide.
