The Catholic Toolbox

We are honoured to welcome Professor Gerald Fogarty OAM KSG, former Headmaster of Warrane College - University of New South Wales for a compelling discussion on Conscientious Objection in Medicine for Catholics.

In this episode, Professor Fogarty explores the moral and ethical responsibilities faced by Catholic doctors and healthcare professionals when medical practice conflicts with the teachings of the Catholic faith. He reflects on the importance of conscience, the dignity of human life, and how Catholics in medicine can faithfully navigate the challenges of modern healthcare.

A thoughtful conversation on faith, conscience, and the vocation of medicine.

A call Anglicans to come home to the Catholic Faith.

We are delighted to welcome Very Rev. Stephen Hill VG, a former Anglican, now a Catholic priest for the Ordinariate, for a fascinating discussion on the Anglican Ordinariate Liturgy.

In this episode, Fr Stephen explores how the Ordinariate’s liturgical tradition—established by Pope Benedict XVI—preserves the rich spiritual and liturgical heritage of Anglicanism while fully expressing the Roman Rite within the Catholic Church. He reflects on the beauty, reverence, and theological depth of this form of worship and its role in the life of the Ordinariate today.

For all those who love the English Patrimony, this episode is not to be missed!

In this episode, we sit down with Nass Aoun, former Young Citizen of the Year for the City of Parramatta, to talk about the true meaning of philanthropy and why giving back to the community matters.

Private Devotions | Fr Peter Williams AM VG
This week, we sit down with Fr Peter Williams AM VG — Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia for the Diocese of Parramatta — to explore the practice, purpose, and power of private devotions. Fr Williams reflects on how devotions such as the Rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, the Angelus, and other traditional prayers strengthen faith, foster intimacy with God, and complement the liturgy of the Church. Together with George, he discusses how devotions to relics and saints can be uniquely powerful, the growing practice of praying the Divine Office, and how private devotions, while valuable, are not the summit of Christian life — the Eucharist remains the source and summit of our faith. A rich and encouraging discussion for anyone seeking to deepen their prayer life and grow in holiness — not to be missed.
