Discover the diverse influences shaping the Austra Discover the diverse influences shaping the Australian Catholic Church. REASONS FOR HOPE: HÉLDER CÂMARA, GLOBAL CATHOLICISM AND THE AUSTRALIAN CHURCH by Julie Thorpe In May 1985, Hélder Câmara, a prophet of peace and prelate of Brazil, stepped onto Australia’s stage with a message of hope. This sparked the birth of the Hélder Câmara Lecture Series. For over four decades, global Catholic voices from every continent have spoken at these lectures with a message of peace and hope for the Australian Church. The year 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of this series. In REASONS FOR HOPE, Julie Thorpe draws upon Hélder Câmara’s prophetic vision and the contributions of the remarkable annual guest speakers. The result is a compelling digest of subjects that provide a rich tapestry of insights into the contemporary Catholic Church. It is a fascinating and accessible read for everyone. https://www.garrattpublishing.com.au/product/9781923095199/

The chapters on each beatitude offer practical and informed wisdom in a voice that is reflective and sees our connectedness with the world and the cosmos. This book is deceptively simple and is enriched by a long life of reading, teaching, thoughtfulness and prayer.

—Anne Benjamin DSG

Honorary Professor ACU, educator and writer

The challenge confronting the future of Catholic schools is how to maintain their unique identity for the benefit of pupils, families and nation. The person of Jesus Christ and his mission are the foundations of this identity. Teachers must not only know these foundations but be committed to living them. … I wholeheartedly recommend this urgently needed praxis-oriented book by two highly skilled and committed educationalists.

—Gerald A Arbuckle, SM

Author, Intentional Faith Communities in Catholic Education: Challenge and Response

The sacraments of initiation are major events in the faith journeys of Catholic children. How, then, to foster their understanding of these sacraments? How to lead them to celebrate the sacraments richly? Kathy Horan’s Becoming Catholic series offers an accessible, imaginative, and engaged way for children to prepare for these sacraments with their families and parishes. A helpful ‘parent’s guide’ explains the process and informs parents about the meaning of the sacraments.

—Rev Dr James McEvoy

Senior Lecturer in Theology, ACU Adelaide

Kathleen Donnellon has created a terrific resource. This is a really clear and engaging book on such an important topic. The anecdotes are excellent: candid and insightful.

—Virginia Bourke

Pro Chancellor, Australian Catholic University, Chair of the Board of Mercy Health

For too long, Australian churches – particularly the Catholic Church – have silenced and ignored the voices of women. In Her Voice showcases the diversity, rich theological understandings, and preaching talents of women. … It is my hope that In Her Voice, alongside the Australian Women Preach podcast, will play some part in correcting the current inaction regarding the marginalisation of women in Australian churches.

—Dr Tracy McEwan

Ex-vice-president of WATAC Inc. and co-convenor of the Australian Women Preach team

Great resources scaffolding inquiry into the Bible and particularly the Old Testament are rare! Know Your Bible brings the Old and New testaments to life for students. It supports teachers with an inquiry approach to the teaching of Religious Education and answers those most asked questions of students. It’s comprehensive and highly readable.
