There is one challenge that faces all of us – health.
When we think of the issues that arise in talking about health, the list is fairly lengthy – medicine, exercise, hospitals, death, food, nutrition and so on.
In this fourth issue of The Record Magazine, we take a look at what are some of the areas where people and organisations across the Archdiocese are making a unique contribution in caring for the lives of those around them first.
In an interview that took place in 2013, Pope Francis said the church’s ministers must be merciful, take responsibility for the people and accompany them like the good Samaritan, who washes, cleans and raises up his neighbour.
This issue of The Record Magazine reports on these words precisely, looking at the good works of Catholic healthcare services across the Archdiocese of Perth including St John of God, MercyCare, Southern Cross Care, Identitywa and Mercy Heath to name a few.
The Record Magazine is a magazine for the people – and I am confident you will all take the time to engage with us. Please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas at editor@therecord.com.au.
