In a statement on the Melbourne Catholic website, Melbourne Archbishop Peter A Comensoli thanked Mr Meese for his almost 29 years of service at Catholic Mission.

“Kevin has done an outstanding job in inspiring, nurturing and supporting Catholic Mission’s donors; and furthering the healthcare, education and spiritual care projects of Catholic Mission throughout the Australian, Asia Pacific, Mongolian, African and European regions,” Archbishop Comensoli said.

“On behalf of the bishops of Victoria and Tasmania, I wish firstly to take this opportunity in offering our deep gratitude to Kevin for his years of dedication and commitment, and for the strength of his Christian witness to those most in need.”

Archbishop Comensoli announced that Cruz Ignatius has been appointed the new Catholic Mission director for Victoria and Tasmania. 

“Cruz comes to the role with extensive experience leading marketing and communications initiatives, managing strategic partnerships across diverse sectors, and driving impactful outcomes within both the for-profit and non-profit spheres,” Archbishop Comensoli said.

“Having recently worked as the Marketing and Communications Manager with the Diocese of Darwin, Cruz comes to Catholic Mission with a commitment to implementing culturally sensitive and faith-driven initiatives.”
