The Charitable Works Fund (CWF) of the Diocese of Broken Bay provides funds to five charities that help the people in our local communities.
One of the charities is the CatholicCare Hospital Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care Practitioner Program that provides pastoral assistance to patients and their families in hospitals on the Central Coast, North Shore and Northern Beaches. Reflecting on their work,
Bishop Anthony recently wrote:
“For many in our hospitals, particularly with the restriction on hospital visitors, this can be a time of anxiety and loneliness. While our CatholicCare Pastoral Care Practitioners are not able to sit at the bedsides as they would normally do, they are on the phone to patients, praying with them and providing the support of our faith.” (27 April)
