Socktober gets bishops’ backing Lean more about Socktober and register today
Several of Australia’s Catholic bishops have thrown their support behind Catholic Mission’s community engagement program, Socktober, as it ramps up for another year of action. The program, which brings schools across the country together around World Mission Month, has piqued the interest of Archbishop Christopher Prowse of Canberra and Goulburn, Archbishop Patrick O’Regan of Adelaide, and Bishop Michael Kennedy of Armidale, who have lent their voices to the cause. Archbishop Prowse and Bishop Kennedy have temporarily parked their love for Australian Rules football to get behind the soccer‑themed Catholic Mission initiative. Both barrack for Hawthorn in the AFL, yet acknowledge the broader role of sport, especially the world game of soccer, as a metaphor for life.
