The Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle represents the Catholic Church in a region extending from Lake Macquarie to Taree and as far inland as Merriwa and Murrurundi.
We want to extend our gratitude to everyone who contributed to the Bishop’s Flood Appeal. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised nearly $160,000 to support those rebuilding after the devastating floods across Taree and the Manning community.
