Serving Faithfully newsletters
From 2018 to the end of 2023 Serving Faithfully was the newsletter of the Catholic Diocese of the Australian Military Services published quarterly.
From 2024 onwards Serving Faithfully has morphed into news items published regularly on this website to be a more contemporary means of sharing events and experiences from across the whole Diocese.
As the Catholic Military Diocese is comprised of members of the Australian Defence Force and their families scattered widely across Australia and overseas, wherever they are serving.
Please contact the Military Ordinariate if you wish to read past published newsletters of Serving Faithfully.
