Welcome to Issue 34 of The Record Magazine – the last issue for 2021! It has now been just over a month since the conclusion of the First Assembly of the Fifth Plenary Council of Australia.
What an experience it has been for the Church! The historic Opening Mass took place in our own St Mary’s Cathedral, livestreamed to the whole world.
In this Issue 34, we look back at all the special moments such as the Opening Mass, in addition to the Concluding Statements, the Final Report and Archbishop Costelloe’s Closing Address. We also give you a special four-page photo gallery of the week-long event.
In this Issue, we also profile Christmas Island parishioners Ron and Susan DeCruz, and in a special report, we also showcase the new Clergy Pastoral Supervision Project. Our best wishes from all the team at the Archdiocesan Communications Office for a blessed and safe Christmas and New Year.
Don’t forget that these and many more stories are available at www.therecord.com.au. The Record Magazine is a magazine for the people and I hope you will enjoy taking the time to engage with us. Please feel free to share your thoughts via editor@therecord.com.au.
