Lessons from the Long Paddock

This is a fantastic resource for adult faith formation, which focuses on real people from this outback Australian Diocese and offers a glimpse at some extraordinary themes relevant to the spiritual life from within a uniquely Australian perspective.

This year Dr Michele Connolly RSJ, Fr Richard Leonard SJ and Bishop Columba OSPPE DD share reflections based on the films and the end product is a really excellent resource designed to support conversations about some of the things that matter at the heart of our Catholic tradition.

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.
