Diocesan Resource Centre

Our Library supports the teaching, learning and research needs of the Diocese by providing resources on Catholic faith, theology, and related subjects, along with recreational materials.

Home > About > Diocesan Resource Centre

Welcome

The Diocesan Resource Centre, encompassing Catholic Schools, the Christian Library Trust, and Diocesan Library resources, aims to provide quality books and other items relating to subjects including Religious Education, Scripture, Theology, Liturgy, Ecclesiology, Church History, Spirituality, Ministry and Ethics to support the teaching, learning and research activities of all in the Diocese. A small collection of novels, films, and music is also available for those seeking recreational materials. 

An important dimension of the library is to assist those undertaking academic study offered through the Diocese with resources and research skills. Resources in the subject of Catholic faith and life are also available to support individuals, Special Religious Educators/catechists, pastoral workers and the wider community.

All resources, including print and electronic materials, are available for borrowing and can be searched in the library catalogue, accessible through the Library website, linked below.

Please browse the catalogue to request an item or enjoy our electronic resources, including eBooks, the Religion and Philosophy database, and subscriptions such as La Croix and The Tablet, all from the comfort of your own home.
