From modest beginnings, the Maronites on Mission fundraising gala has become a must-attend event—including for MPs like Tony Burke and Steve Kamper, both of whom praised the group’s efforts at this year’s fundraiser.

A decade-long fight for the Catholic Church to continue offering burial services across Sydney ended with the passing of crucial legislation by New South Wales parliament on 21 June.

New legislation introduced into the NSW Parliament by Minister Steve Kamper this month will formally end Sydney’s "cemetery wars" and address a shortage of burial space.

“This has now brought clarity to the situation and enables Catholic Cemeteries to continue to carry on this important corporal work of mercy for the people of Sydney, as we have done so successfully for over 157 years,” CMCT chief executive officer Lauren Hardgrove said.

Construction of Sydney’s newest cemetery will resume after the NSW Labor Government resolved a stand-off between its Catholic operator and the previous government.
