The Catholic Resource & Information Service (CRIS) supports the mission of parishes, schools and other Church agencies in their pastoral outreach as communities of faith. Membership is open to all and is free for all individual Catholics, Catholic schools and parishes.

The collection includes books, audiobooks, journals, DVDs, videos, CDs, cassettes, big books, picture books, posters, reference material, and on-line information. The Service also houses the Indigenous Education and Asian Studies Collections.
