VALE JAMES BERNARD “JIM” D’ORSA (1942–2026) Dr VALE JAMES BERNARD “JIM” D’ORSA (1942–2026) Dr James Bernard ‘Jim’ D’Orsa, a towering figure in Australian Catholic education whose career spanned more than half a century, has died peacefully at Epworth Hospital, Richmond, on 10 July 2026. He was 84. We at Garratt Publishing are saddened by the news of Jim’s passing. Jim leaves behind a legacy few in Catholic education can match. Over the decades he was involved in numerous pioneering initiatives across Catholic schools, systems and tertiary institutions, work that shaped the way generations of teachers, leaders, and Religious Education Coordinators understood their vocation.

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.

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.
