Climate Change Petition

To call on Australia to act more urgently for climate justice, Micah Australia have launched a Community Climate Petition which they aim to make the largest coordinated multi-electorate petition in Australia's history. This is a combined Church initiative. Caritas Australia is a member of Micah Australia.

The petition in Ballarat is being coordinated by Bronwen James who will receive signatures until June 30. They will then be presented to Hon. Catherine King, MP to represent Ballarat. Caritas resources for parishes and schools can be found on the Caritas website here. For signing and further information on the petition please contact Bronwen ph 0400574523 or email bronwenj0@gmail.com

Thank you for your support,

Sue Searls, Ballarat Diocesan Director for Caritas Australia.

We are a community of communities from the Murray to the sea.
Inspired by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we follow the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, reaching out in joyful and humble service, caring for all of God’s creation, growing in love day by day and looking forward to life with God forever.

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Their wisdom can help us care for the earth, our common home.
