Catholic Archdiocese of Perth

Welcome.

This is anti-poverty week.

All over the world millions of people struggle under conditions of dire poverty that deny them and their families any chance of a decent life.

Poverty also exists here in Australia. Despite our good network of social support for people, some never seem able to get free from the trap of poverty that makes them constantly dependent on someone else’s charity.

For the dignity of every human person we need to be aware of the extent of poverty and what we can do about it.

As individuals and as a nation we need to develop our generosity, especially in anti-poverty week.

God’s peace be with you.

I’m Barry Hickey, Catholic Archbishop of Perth.
