This Advent the Ministry Development Committee has prepared some reflections on four themes for Advent – God’s Promise, Prophets, John the Baptist and Mary, together with some craft activities and music.

Thank you Jesus is a small booklet of prayers for children. It can be used with church groups, given at baptisms or used as a gift for children and grandchildren.

This year the Communion Forest through the Diocese of Southern Africa has put together a wonderful set of resources that can be used by members of our Diocese.

This Little Book of Saints has been put together by people from across the Diocese of Ballarat who have written about people who inspire them. We hope that these saints will encourage you on your Lenten journey.

This is a day for all people involved in ministry and leadership in local parishes – those involved in reading scripture, leading prayers, leading services and parish groups, preaching etc.

Join with us as we commemorate the 'Father of the Diocese of Ballarat' Theodore Carlos Benoni Stretch (11 August)
