Our Defence Community

Behind every ADF member there is an even stronger family who stands with them, supports them, and loves them with all their heart.

 

Australian Defence Force Members, Families, and our Community

The Australian community and our ADF family are two vital pillars that shape our character, guide our values, and teach us the power of collective strength and resilience.

This Defence Community page offers practical resources to help families and individuals deepen their Catholic faith and cultivate a rich family spirituality. We aim to support you in finding sacred moments of connection and God's presence in your daily routines. By bridging the unique demands of military life with our faith, we hold it a profound honour to bring defence families and the wider Australian community together in shared devotion to those who serve our nation.
