Our 2019/20 annual report is now available!
October 14, 2020
Around the world, the year 2019/20 will be remembered as a tragedy, as the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged communities with staggering loss of life – challenging our health, education and social welfare systems and economies. Through this, CatholicCare remained true to its mission – serving in justice and love – bringing hope to those who most desperately need it. This annual report celebrates our extraordinary achievements in a challenging year – a testament to the commitment, compassion and expertise of our team.
We are the social care agency of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Broken Bay – assisting children, young people and adults to live more enriched lives. Last year we provided services to 30,000+ children, young people, individuals and families across our Diocese, and have been doing so since 1987.
