Deo gratias!
On 31 July 2025, the Holy See proclaimed that Saint John Henry Newman, our blessed patron and guide, will soon be declared a Doctor of the Church. Our library, bearing his honoured name, rejoices in this moment. Newman’s elevation to Doctor of the Church affirms our mission to foster learning, reflection, and spiritual growth through our collections, services, and outreach.  In the coming weeks, we will celebrate this milestone with special displays of Newman’s works and themed reading lists.

Social Justice Statement 2024-25
The Social Justice Statement for 2024-25, from the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, is entitled Truth and Peace: A Gospel Word in a Violent World.  Australia’s Bishops scrutinise the signs of our own troubled times, observe the violence around us, ask why it is so and also ask what is needed if there is to be peace.  The Library has prepared links to resources which may be relevant to the Statement and is available below:
