15th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Integrity in the Service of the Church
A resource document has been produced by the Australian Catholic Bishops and the
Leaders of Religious Institutes in Australia. The document aims to help Church
Workers reflect on and uphold Christian vision and values in all relationships and
actions. The five basic principles are :
1. commitment to justice and equity
2. upholding the dignity of all people
3. commitment to safe and supportive relationships
4. reaching out to those who are poor, alienated or marginalised
5. striving for excellence in all their work
During August there will be opportunities given to ensure all employed staff and
volunteers become familiar with the principles outlined in the document. It is hoped
that parishioners will take advantage of this opportunity.
