Within our Diocese, three key agencies play a vital role in supporting individuals, families and communities:
- CatholicCare Hunter-Manning provides practical support through child, youth and family services, foster care, counselling, food programs and social enterprise initiatives.
- Catholic Community Fund helps fund schools, early education centres, parish facilities, community housing and other projects that strengthen our Catholic communities.
- Hunter Community Housing provides secure and affordable housing for people in need.
Together, these agencies help build a stronger, more inclusive community where no one is left behind.
Several other Catholic organisations and programs also operate throughout our Diocese, supporting our local community and beyond.
