“Every time we act, it is a response to God’s boundless love. With that abundance and privilege also comes the responsibility to carry forward the mission of Jesus - to strengthen the church, uplift the poor, and live the Word of God.
Together, we can be living examples of God’s mercy. Grounded in our faith, we know that giving is not a burden but a blessing that fills us with joy, as we continue to receive the love we give, many times over.”
We have all experienced that grace-filled moment of being truly seen and welcomed - when our presence matters, our voice is heard, and we know we belong. In the Church, belonging means being active members of God’s family: caring for one another, sharing responsibility, and working together to build community.
I am deeply encouraged by the many generous and faith-filled people who bring hope and care to others across our local Church. Your support of our work in education, formation, and social services brings relief to individuals and families in need, offering compassion where it is most needed.
Through your generosity, you live Christ’s mission in a tangible way. On this website, you will discover the many ways your giving transforms lives and helps us extend the Church’s care to those most vulnerable.
If you are seeking a meaningful way to make a difference, the Catholic Foundation can accompany you in identifying how your giving can bring about lasting good.
As we continue this mission together, I invite you to join me in praying with gratitude for all who share their blessings so that the Church may grow in faith, hope, and love, making our world a more compassionate place.
Wishing you every blessing,
Most Rev Shane Mackinlay
Archbishop of Brisbane
