Catholic Archdiocese of Perth

Welcome.

I believe that I am always in the presence of God. This belief gives meaning to everything I do and how I see the world.

But there are times when our life appears like a harsh desert and God seems very far away. It happens to me and I am sure to many of you.

In those moments, I ask you to hang in – to be patient and have courage. God is in the darkness as well as in the light - and God will never abandon you.

Know that you are never alone. God’s loving presence, especially in the bleak times, will give you strength and the precious gift of peace.
Think about it.

I’m Barry Hickey, Catholic Archbishop of Perth.
