Annual Christmas Appeal


Our Christmas Appeal is one way by which the diocese can respond to the many
communities around the world who turn to us for assistance. Our response is an
indication of our solidarity with people in need, such as those affected by natural
disasters.I am aware that there are many times throughout the year when you
are invited to respond to appeals for very worthy causes, but I hope the Ballarat
diocese can continue to support this particular appeal.Yours sincerely in
Christ (Bishop Paul Bird)
NB: This Appeal will be taken up at all Masses next weekend.
