Beliefs and Practices of Australian Catholics— what we know and why it matters
Melbourne, February 2014
The first Conference of the ACBC Pastoral Research Office was held on the 19-22 February 2014. The Conference and the Parish Workshop Day explored the issues that matter to all Australian Catholics. We looked at the research results and beyond the data to consider what it all meant and how we needed to respond. Both events were strongly informed by research carried out in the last five years.
The Australasian Catholic Record has published five articles that have arisen from keynotes or workshops at the conference. These are now available for download by clicking the links below.
