Bathurst, Australia, Aug 2, 2018 / 08:02 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- As Australian families face a difficult drought, a diocese in New South Wales is offering struggling families assistance with their school fees.
“The provision of affordable Catholic schooling should not be an added burden to the financial strain of families, especially for those in need in this time of drought,” said Bishop Michael McKenna of Bathurst, according to the Mudgee Guardian.
“We certainly do not wish to add to the financial burden families are currently experiencing, as money should not be a barrier to children attending Catholic schools.”
