AUSTRALIAN CONFRATERNITY

OF CATHOLIC CLERGY (ACCC)

Men who make sacrifice and oblation

 The ACCC is a private, voluntary and fraternal association of Catholic clerics of the Dioceses of Australia constituted in 1987 under statutes in conforming with the 1983 Code of Canon Law under Canon 278,1, “Secular clergy have the right of association with others for the achievement of purposes befitting the clerical state.”

The Aims of the ACCC are to

•    give glory and honour to the Most Blessed Trinity

•    assist the eternal salvation and holiness of members

•    foster unity among Catholic priests and deacons with the bishops in loyalty to the Supreme Magisterium

•    encourage faithfulness to priestly life and ministry

•   assist bishops, priests, and deacons in the fulfilment of their ministry of teaching, sanctifying, and ruling.

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) elects office-bearers.  Motions presented to the AGM shall be in total accord with the Code of Canon Law, with the Magisterium and the faith and morals of the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church, and in utter obedience to and reflecting respect for and reverence toward the authority, position and person of the Supreme Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ and Bishop of Rome, and the Bishops teaching in union with him.

Priest or deacon associate membership is open to priests and deacons who are members of religious institutes or secular institutes.

Lay associate members support the clerical association in its objectives and subscribe to the journal.

DAILY PRAYER FOR PRIESTS

Almighty and Eternal God

look with mercy on Your priests,

sharing Your Fatherhood in Holy Church.

Your Son, the Lord Jesus, has made them

priests and victims with Himself:

day by day, may they offer the worship

of His Mystical Body

in the Eucharistic Sacrifice,

with their own homage

of heart, mind and body.

By the Holy Spirit, make them zealous

in their priestly ministry;

keep them devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary,

obedient to the Pope and their own Bishop,

and through them inspire young men

to serve you in the Priesthood.

To You, O Holy Trinity,

be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen
