With songs like ‘What a Friend we have in Jesus’ and with many telling him ‘God is our friend’, Thomas from St Paul's Catholic Primary School Nightcliff NT asked Cathcroc a thought-provoking question – is God friends with the devil? Watch as Cathcroc appreciates the question and garners Bishop’s help to answer Thomas. Stay tuned as Cathcroc answers more interesting questions from amazing children. https://darwin.catholic.org.au/formation/ #DioceseOfDarwin #Darwin #Cathcroc #AskCathcroc #StPaulsSchool #Prayer #Christian #Catholic #Bible #children #childrensquestions #answers #darwin

If children have questions about God, the beautiful creations around us, keeping safe or anything else that’s important to them, there’s now a fun way for them to engage and get answers. CathCroc is a new, animated character created by the Diocese of Darwin to engage with children and answer their questions with the help of Bishop Charles Gauci https://youtu.be/xQDlciT27HM. Parents, grandparents, teachers, guardians, or any other carers of children can email their children’s questions to AskCathCroc@gmail.com. Following this in a succinct video (on the Diocesan Digital Channels) the friendly animated character will acknowledge the children and request Bishop Charles Gauci to help answer them. The choice of a crocodile as the character of CathCroc is deeply personal to the Northern Territory. Crocodiles are a large part of the Aboriginal culture, and the Northern Territory has the largest wild crocodile population in the world. ‘As a Church we have things old and new. There are perennial values that are forever coming to us from Jesus and the early Church. The Holy Spirit keeps on guiding us into a deeper understanding of these mysteries of our Faith’ said Bishop Charles Gauci, Bishop of Darwin and the Northern Territory. ‘Each generation needs to proclaim our Faith message in contemporary understanding for all ages. Cathcroc is aimed at Children, the parents, guardians, and all other carers of Children. We pray and trust in the Lord that this will be a useful tool in His hand in the proclamation of His Good News to all’ added Bishop Gauci.

Bishop' Charles Gauci's Lenten Message - 01st March 2022

When we truly believe that we are infinitely loved, then we get the motivation to continue to grow. We can feel secure enough to name where we are flawed and make decisions to keep growing and to trust in holy insecurity held in deep love #shorts #Motivation #Grow #Christian #Faith #Catholic #God #Christianity #Bible #DioceseofDarwin

We are all flawed in some way;. And it’s important when we connect with each other that the method of how we communicate is itself giving a healthy and good, respectful, loving message. Flawed, but loved, loved infinitely by our loving God. #shorts #Progress #WorkInProgress #Christian #Faith #Catholic #God #Christianity #Bible #DioceseofDarwin

My dear Friends, Parents, Grandparents, other relatives, and other Carers of Children. I would like to inform you that we are presenting a forum where Children can ask questions and be given some answers to those questions. I’d like to make myself available using the medium of Cathcroc. Cathcroc is an animated character to whom hopefully Children can relate and through whom they can pose their questions. I will endeavour to do my best to offer an answer to these questions. I’m happy to support you in your role as Carers for the children you love, as you help them in their questions in meaning, Faith, and life. I will endeavour to do my best to offer an answer to these questions. Yours in Christ, +Bishop Charles Gauci

Dear Brothers & Sisters, In this very special and wonderful time of Christmas, I share with you some reflections and thoughts which I send with prayers and love. Blessings to you and your loved ones in this very special time. +Charles Gauci Bishop of Darwin & NT
