AN INVITATION TO OUR NEXT ECOLOGY WEBINAR! It's b AN INVITATION TO OUR NEXT ECOLOGY WEBINAR!

It's been 10 years since Pope Francis released his encyclical, Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. To celebrate, Garratt Publishing has been hosting a series of Ecology Webinars.

Our Fourth and last webinar, A SYNODAL RESPONSE TO LAUDATO SI’, will be held on Wednesday, 19 November 2025, at 7:00 pm (AEDT).

This webinar will explore the synodal process involved in developing a Laudato Si' Action Plan. Proven plans drawing on experiences from the Brisbane Archdiocese, including Brisbane Catholic Education, will be a focus of discussion, as will be how the Catholic Justice and Peace Commission in Brisbane helped with this process. 

Hosting the webinar will be Alice Carwardine. Joining Alice is Emma Beach, Justice, Ecology and Peace Project Officer for the Brisbane Archdiocese and Executive Officer for the Catholic Justice and Peace Commission, Brisbane.

Accreditation is available.

Vale. Father Francis Moloney SDB. All at Garrat Vale. 

Father Francis Moloney SDB.

All at Garratt Publishing are saddened by the passing of Father Francis Moloney SDB.

We simply knew him as Frank, one of our favourite authors to work with.  His manuscripts were delivered on time and to the highest standards. His scholarly work was always so precise, his words inspiring, insightful, and true to the Gospels he so dearly loved – particularly, of course, John’s.

Frank’s relationship with Garratt Publishing goes back decades. Back in the early 1970s, he worked and developed a deep friendship with the late Garry Eastman, our founder. 

We know too that over many years, many of our friends at Garratt Publishing – you, our readers – deeply respected, enjoyed, and were inspired by Frank’s spiritual and scriptural insights.

Australian Catholic Bishops Conference President, Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB, noted, ‘The death of Father Francis Moloney SDB brings to a close a life of remarkable commitment, fidelity and scholarship’.

Frank chose to work not just with Garratt Publishing but with numerous publishers in many countries. However, without his support over many years, we at Garratt Publishing would not be the company we are today. We owe him an enormous debt of gratitude for his support of our Mission. 

We are honoured to have worked with him, to have known him, and loved him.

Frank leaves us with an enduring legacy. One we should all be grateful for.

Vale Frank. We have been blessed to know you.

David Hughan
CEO

Christopher White’s incisive reporting on the Vatican gives readers unparalleled insight and access into the highest levels of the church, along with the keen insights and invaluable observations that could come only from an expert like him.

The Church is seeking a new engagement with people who identify as LGBTQIA+ and who often feel rejected by the Church. It’s not easy to see the way forward, but the journey starts with the ear... In what is offered here, Trish Hindmarsh helps us take a step in the right direction on the long journey of dialogue.

We at Garratt Publishing are proud to have produced Modern Australian Liturgies – the bold new resource that fulfils a need not addressed by traditional liturgies.

CEO, Garratt Publishing

Perspectives by Chris Monaghan represents visually what made me fall in love with Australia and its Catholic Church: a tradition of a spirituality deeply embodied in nature and expressed in everyday wisdom.

Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at Villanova University, USA

A practical and informative resource that is a fusion of Science, History and Christian belief and equips young people with knowledge and understanding to be able to make a difference in our world.

Principal, St Mary MacKillop School, Wallaroo, SA

Who would have thought that the narrative history of a 40-year-old lecture series could end up distilling such a compelling digest of issues shaping the Catholic Church in Australia and far beyond? Yet in the hands of Julie Thorpe, key characters like Hélder Câmara and other annual lecturers are revealed as formidable influences on the Pilgrim Church, by shaping a ‘rough draft of the future’; by participating in ‘tradere’ …

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
