25.01.2022 Bishop Garry having a quick chat on national TV, launching our St Francis Day Appeal.

25.01.2022 The Cathedral all set to celebrate her patronal festival tomorrow. If you have booked in for lunch, please be at The Boatshed, Lake Wendouree at 11.30am please, as we only have 2 hours due to the current restrictions. Laus Deo

24.01.2022 Advent Day 3 Jesse Tree Noah and the Flood Genesis 6-9 This very Australian image of Noah and the animals saved on the Ark reminds us of the universal nature of both God’s promise to not destroy the world and these stories that speak to us here in Australia in 2020. We pray in the Lord’s Prayer Your [God’s] Kingdom Come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. It is the story of Noah that is the beginning of this promise that God will remake Heaven and Earth an...d that we have a role in bringing about the Kingdom of God. When has a rainbow broken through into your life? Comment below. #jessetree #advent #Ballarat https://app.box.com/s/poi6z308nyauo1eic6ek56gfacbr42r8

22.01.2022 Advent Tradition - the Jesse Tree. Each day of Advent we will post an image and a reflection related to the Jesse Tree Tradition. Read on to discover more... Advent has often been the catalyst for exploring different ways of engaging with Scripture and what it means to live a Christian life. You will be familiar with Advent Wreaths (Three purple candles, one pink candle for Gaudete Sunday and a white one for Christ-mas) and Advent calendars (you might be counting down with b...eers of the world or chocolate). But one way that is not as well known is the daily reflection presented by the Jesse Tree this is a tradition that is more common in Roman Catholic Churches and a wonderful website can be found here: https://www.loyolapress.com//liturg/advent/the-jesse-tree/ A word.doc with the readings hyperlinked to the NRSVA translation in Bible Gateway can be found here: https://app.box.com/s/poi6z308nyauo1eic6ek56gfacbr42r8 Like the beloved Nine Lessons and Carols service, the Jesse Tree readings can supplement the readings of the Lectionary as it traces the stories of the Old Testament that tell of God’s presence throughout the History of the Jewish People, right up to the birth of Christ. There are lots of ways of marking the days of advent, some of these will be listed here on our Cathedral Facebook Page, this collection of readings, thoughts and images might help you as we wait with expectation to celebrate Emmanuel God with us.

22.01.2022 23rd Sunday after Pentecost 8th November 2020 This Sunday’s readings are as follows : Josh. 24:1-3a, 14-25... Ps. 78:1-7 1 Thess. 4:9-18 Matt. 25:1-13 Watching for God's Kingdom - Sermon 33 in the Bishop's Sermon Series during COVID-19 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzwe6UVuttA&feature=youtu.be)

21.01.2022 ** LATEST ANNOUNCEMENT ** ** PLEASE SHARE ** Dear Friends... Hope you are well and enjoying the warm weather. Just a quick mid-week update following the recent easing of COVID19 restrictions. I have just measured the Cathedral and we can easily sit 108 congregants (based on the current rules and slightly being conservative too). Therefore, you do not have to go through the process of booking for this Sunday onwards. All you have to do is attend church, either 8am or 10am, register your name and contact details just like you would do at a café or restaurant. Please also be informed that we are not continuing on with the 5pm Said Eucharist on Sundays as we added the additional service primarily to accommodate more worshippers. However, this may change in 2021. What we are doing now and need to continue on : Please keep to 1.5 metres between individual congregants, and other individuals or domestic couple or family groups. If you see an X on a pew or chair, you can sit there. Sanitize before entering the Cathedral and before leaving the Cathedral. Please a wear a masks at all times unless you are given an exemption by an authorized individual e.g. doctor. Communion in one kind only. Please follow the direction of the ushers. After each service all areas must be sanitized with appropriate form completed. What is NEW and may change as we progress further : Singing is allowed but you must wear a mask. We will only resume singing as a congregation from 20th Dec (Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols) onwards. Choir and celebrant are allowed to sing without masks on but must be 2 meters apart and 5 meters from the congregants. Doors, windows and other entrances should be open to allow maximum circulation of air. We are allowed to have a cuppa afterwards but we will only resume this hopefully from 6th Dec 2020 onwards. Most likely we will have it outside either near the main entrance of the Cathedral or at the side. We are still trying to work this out and of course more details will come out soon. Since we are unable to use the Holy Water stoop. We are planning to reinstate the liturgical practice of sprinkling with holy water or "asperges" as a reminder of baptism. The term comes from the Latin version of Ps 51, "Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop." It will be done as a preparatory ceremony before the Eucharist, with the altar, clergy, and people all sprinkled with holy water. An aspergillum is used for sprinkling the holy water. Once again, thank you so much for being agile and for fully cooperating with all these changes. Please pass this message around especially to all those who are not on any electronic media. If you need more information, please contact Fr Martin, your Asst. Curate. Prayers from your Cathedral

19.01.2022 Advent Jesse Tree - Day 2 - Fruit The reading for today is about Adam and Eve: Genesis 2:4-24 and Genesis 3 When I think of all the tempting fruit of the Australian Summer it is Cherries that I desire most!... Thinking about the story of the first rebellion, I am struck by how much I am more likely to do something if I have been forbidden to do it, but more than this, in Genesis 2, Verse 21 we get God’s response: And the Lord God made garments of skins for the man and for his wife, and clothed them. Even at this moment of epic betrayal God is looking out for the welfare of God’s people. Comment below: When was a time when you felt God was looking after you? #jessetree #advent https://app.box.com/s/poi6z308nyauo1eic6ek56gfacbr42r8

16.01.2022 What people are waiting for from the church, whether they realize it or not, is that the church of today show them the gospel. Our contemporaries want to meet Christ who is alive today; they want to see Him with their eyes and touch Him with their hands. Our contemporaries want a meeting face to face with Christ. The invitation for us Christians is that they demand to see Christ in each one of us; they want us to reflect Christ as clearly as a pane of glass window transmits ...the rays of the sun. We want to see Jesus, are you His face? This Sunday’s readings are as follows : Exodus 16:2-15 Psalm 105:1-6, 37-45 Philippians 1 or 1:21-30 Matthew 20:1-16 What then will we have? - Sermon 26 in the Bishop's Sermon Series during COVID-19 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqcaeX7OAMM&feature=youtu.be)

16.01.2022 17th Sunday After Pentecost This Sunday’s readings are as follows : Exodus 17:1-7 Psalm 78:1-4, 11-16... Philippians 2 or 2:1-13 Matthew 21:23-32 Growing in Authority, Relinquishing Control - Sermon 27 in the Bishop's Sermon Series during COVID-19 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYGOjYqd0SU&feature=youtu.be)

05.01.2022 9 years ago today we enthroned a Bishop. (I can personally think of at least one person who would've killed to be able to fall back on a COVID-safe 4sq metre rule as he tried to squeeze in all +GW's last minute guests... :) ) Happy Anniversary!

The Cathedral will be sponsoring a Go Fund Me page to raise money to help feed the animals at the Ballarat wildlife park which has had very little government support during the pandemic. The page is not yet operational..., but we hope it will be by this Friday and it will continue until the day after the Feast of St Francis (ie 5th October). Please lookout for the launch! Fr Martin
