The Catholic Military Diocese is aware of the significant contribution of some 35,000 military personnel from Australia and from 19 other participating nations deployed across Queensland, Northern territory, Western Australia, New South Wales, Christmas Island Papua New Guinea at this time. We seek all members of the Diocese to remember our men and women involved in this operation, and in particular, to pray for the safety and wellbeing of all serving in this exercise.
We thank them for their selfless service and dedication in being part of this operation across the sea, land, air , space and cyber domains. May all remain free from personal accident and the life-threatening harm that may potentially result from such a massive military operation.
May they be blessed for their contribution and enriched, both personally and professionally, through this significant warfighting exercise.
