Welcome

This is the community meeting point for the Bathurst Diocese . It is a place for community member in the diocese to meet, talk, share and dream about the possibilities for this diocese . If you’re a member of the community you can register. This will give you the ability to contribute to the community through blogs, forums, bulletin board items and adding calendar events.

If you’re not a member of the community you can view the content but cannot contribute.

This is a place for all members of the diocese community and everyone is encouraged to contribute, talk, argue and share. In all of this, it is vitally important that everyone is treated with respect - the dignity of each person is to be respected. If you find your comments edited by moderators it will probably be because of rudeness, disrespect or nastiness. You are free to express your opinion, but material which is contrary to the nature of a Catholic community will be edited or removed.

That said, we want people to feel free to express their thoughts, concerns, ideas, hope, talents, passions and faith. If others feel the same way, then anything is possible.
