Despite the impact of COVID-19 (with its virtual shut-down of all Church activity throughout the middle of the year) Catholic Social Services Western Australia (CSSWA) has forged ahead with the Catholic Volunteer Hub, an initiative that looks set to dramatically increase the potential for ordinary Catholics to get involved with performing the Good Works of the Church. The Catholic Volunteer Hub creates an opportunity for adults who are seeking to volunteer in a parish setting or for an agency, inviting everyone to participate in performing the Good Works of the Church and realise the objectives outlined in the Archdiocesan Plan 2016 – 2021.

The West Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office (WACMRO) has this year designed and implemented an outreach programme that effectively combines aspects of faith formation and community in a manner that meets Parish Council, Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) and Archdiocesan Plan 2016-21 objectives.

Along the way, we are thrown a few curve balls and we may find ourselves in places not on our personal itinerary.
