The Church's approach to public policy is formed by Catholic social teaching. At any one time, work is being undertaken on many fronts for example moral and social matters such as issues surrounding healthcare ethics, education, migrancy and matters of justice and the common good. Visit our Legislation and Public Policy pages.
To raise funds to support the work of the Bishops' Conference in faithful witness to the Gospel, the Bishops launched a five-year programme called Faith in the Future. Fourteen projects have been identified as priorities for the coming years and fit into the following categories: supporting ministry, promoting dialogue between religions, faith in action and proclaiming the Good News.
