An edited statement of the Catholic Church’s Plans for a National Response to the Bushfire Crisis

Australia is facing an unprecedented calamity as fire engulfs the land in many places. We have all seen the apocalyptic images, … Lives have been lost, homes and towns have been destroyed, smoke has shrouded large swathes of our country. … The efforts of firefighters have been heroic. The resilience of the communi-ties affected has been extraordinary. This has been Australia at its best, and we all stand with those who have been most stricken and with those who are putting their lives on the line to fight the fires. But we need more than words. Expressions of solidarity are important, but they are not enough. … While the bishops typically respond to challenges at a parish or diocesan level, the scale of this crisis requires a national response from the whole Church to complement and coordinate what is happening locally. From the Bishops Conference, that national response includes: The facilitation of a national network connecting people affected by the bushfires with people who can help with tasks such as preparing meals, clearing properties, rebuilding communities, as well as pastoral and coun-selling support. The distribution of special prayers and other resources for use in parishes, families and other Catholic communities. Collaboration with key national agencies like Catholic Health Australia, Catholic Social Services Australia, the National Catholic Education Commis-sion and the St Vincent de Paul Society (Vinnies) to ensure as effective a response as possible from the wider Catholic community. Cooperating with Catholic Religious Australia and religious institutes and their ministries. Parishes across the country taking up a special collection at Masses on the Australia Day weekend, with all funds to be donated to Vinnies’ bushfire appeal. Vinnies is responding in all affected states and territories. Its network of local conferences and support services has seen them rapidly respond throughout the nation as the fire crisis has spread. As well as donations at Masses on Australia Day weekend, people are en-couraged to support the immediate response and the ongoing work of Vin-nies in your state or throughout bushfire-affected communities by donat-ing here. … With broad and deep roots across the nation, the Church stands ready to walk alongside people throughout their journey of recovery. Facing this exceptional crisis, we renew our call for insistent prayer for those stricken by drought and fire, for those who have lost their lives in the fires and their families, for rain to quench the parched land and extinguish the fires, and for urgent action to care for our common home in order to prevent such calamities in the future. A genuinely Catholic response to a crisis of this magnitude must draw strength from prayer which inspires concrete and compassionate action.

President Archbishop Mark Coleridge January 7, 2020
