Catholic Diocese of Broome

Since the last issue of our magazine, volunteers have been continuing their efforts throughout the Diocese.

All appear to be well, and are enjoying and thriving on their hard work!

Shortly there will be a new campaign for recruitment of volunteers. The months go by so quickly and, before we know it, our current team of volunteers will be looking to head home for a well earned rest.

Who knows, maybe some will return at a later date.

Paul Dwyer has returned to the cooler climate of Victoria, after spending over two months at Kalumburu Mission in the far north of the Diocese. The hay is baled, the vehicles have been serviced (and much more)!

The smell and colour of paint is in the air. At La Grange–Bidyadanga Parish, south of Broome, our volunteers are giving their accommodation a well overdue facelift. Whilst in Broome our volunteers, Geoff Evans and Jimmi Smith, are repainting some of our Diocesan accommodation.

Once again it is thanks to the generosity of our volunteers that the good works of the Diocese continue.
