Australian priest takes up Pope's call to be a missionary of mercy

Jesuit Father Richard Shortall, a missionary of mercy for the Jubilee Year of Mercy, walks outside his motor home at St. Patrick and St. Brigid Church in Cooranbong, Australia, May 26. Father Shortall, one of two missionaries of mercy in Australia, is traveling throughout the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese to rural parishes that have no resident priest.

COORANBONG, Australia – A shiny white motor home stationed on the grounds of Catholic churches throughout the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese has become a beacon of hope and mercy among local communities.
