The National Council of Priests of Australia has published the 2010-11 edition of The Official Directory of the Catholic Church in Australia, on behalf of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference.
"Over many years, this Official Directory has become an indispensable tool for those who work in, with and for the Catholic Church in Australia and elsewhere," said President Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, Archbishop Philip Wilson.
"Those less familiar with the Church and its structure and organization will also find it a useful way of getting a clearer idea of the "who," "what" and "where" of making connections with church personnel and agencies."
The 900-page directory lists over 23,000 entries, giving "a rich picture of the workings of the Church in Australia", according to a media statement.
"As usual, the National Council of Priests, through its staff, have made a very practical and useful contribution to the life of the Church by compiling, editing and publishing the more than 23,000 entries which are contained in the proceeding pages of this latest edition.
"It is no small task to keep abreast of the never-ending changes in people, structures and contact details, and I take this opportunity to thank them for their efforts to ensure the accuracy of these entries based on the information provided to them, and for making these available and accessible in a variety of attractive formats."
