Welcome To CfM

Who are Catholics for Ministry? We are a group of Catholics hopeful about the future of the Church. We maintain that 16,746 Mass-going Catholics can’t all be wrong. That is the number of people who signed a petition to the Catholic Bishops of Australia asking them to…

• Acknowledge that there is a major crisis in ministry within the Australian Church
• Acknowledge that there is no doctrinal barrier to the ordination of married men
• Take practical steps toward ordaining suitably qualified married men
• Encourage discussion of the role of women in ministry and in the authority structures of the Church,
• Encourage discussion of the question of women's ordination
• Establish appropriate training programs to prepare people for ministry
• Invite priests who have left the ministry to return to active priesthood

Catholics for Ministry don’t just talk about what’s wrong in Catholicism today. We are doing something about it.
