19.01.2022 Jesus dies on the cross.

19.01.2022 Friends, I would like to share with you a new pastoral letter I have written during this time of COVID-19 pandemic. On behalf of the Bishops of New South Wales,... the clergy and the lay faithful, Ive written to the Premier pressing the case for the reopening of churches, initially for private prayer and confession. Its likely that such a soft opening will happen before we can resume public Masses and subject to government directives.God bless you in this holiest of seasons and I promise my continuing prayers for you all. You can read the full Pastoral Letter here:https://bit.ly/34YNVlV See more

19.01.2022 Friends, many of you have been writing to me with questions about a COVID-19 vaccine. This week’s announcement that a Letter of Intent has been signed between o...ur government and AstraZeneca for a vaccine raises some important ethical questions because the vaccine in question makes use of a cell line cultured from an electively aborted human foetus. Whether this vaccine is successful or not, it is important that the government does not create an ethical dilemma for people. Along with the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney and the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Australia, I have written to the Prime Minister Scott Morrison, asking the government to pursue similar arrangements for alternate vaccines that do not raise the same ethical concerns, so that Australians will have a choice when it comes to vaccination. There are currently 167 vaccines being researched, many of which do not use foetal cells in their development. It is in the best interests of the community that vaccination is widely taken up and this deadly disease defeated, and this will better be achieved if the vaccines available do not create an ethical quandary. I’ll have more to say on this in next week’s Catholic Weekly. In the interim, you might like to make your desire for an ethical vaccine known to your local MP.

17.01.2022 This Good Friday morn, you are invited to "virtually" pray the Stations of the Cross from the Holy Land. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uofRteUvhQ

12.01.2022 Friends, tomorrow marks the 1st anniversary of the passing of the Abortion Law Reform Act 2019, which may be the worst law passed in NSW in modern times. Abort...ion on demand right upto birth has now been formally legalised in our state, but our commitment to life must continue, so that strong support is available to distressed pregnant women with any support or alternatives to abortion. I encourage you to support the Life Choice #notforgotten campaign on social media so that we can remind the broader public and our political leaders of the importance of protecting life so that every vulnerable woman and baby is supported and abortion becomes unthinkable. You’ll find more information about the campaign here: www.LifeChoice.org.au/notforgotten

09.01.2022 All set for tonight

09.01.2022 Friends, there is still time to speak up for religious freedom in NSW, telling MPs that people of faith want to receive the same protections under anti-discrimi...nation law as everyone else. If you havent done so already, please register your support for the Anti-Discrimination Amendment (Religious Freedoms and Equality) Bill 2020 by clicking here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F8KFWXB and saying you support the bill. You are asked to write your own thoughts in the form, but this does need not be lengthy. It is sufficient to let our MPs know that religious freedom is important to you, and that people of faith in NSW are not asking for special treatment; we are asking for equal treatment. Submissions close this Friday, 21 August so please make your submission now!

09.01.2022 Join us once again on Easter Sunday as 7NEWS Sydney broadcasts the Mass of the Lords Resurrection at 10:30am. The Mass will also be livestreamed on our website and YouTube Channel.

03.01.2022 Friends, the current COVID-19 pandemic has placed us in a situation of unprecedented difficulty, calling into question aspects of our way of life that we have b...een taking for granted. In this week’s episode of the podcast This Catholic Life, which airs this Thursday, I will address some of the key ethical challenges from vaccines to support for the unemployed and restrictions on churches. The episode will be available from Thursday here: https://bit.ly/2HUqXVp See more

01.01.2022 Friends, tomorrow morning at 11am I will be celebrating the State Funeral and Pontifical Mass of Christian Burial for John Fahey, a truly great Australian, who ...made a remarkable contribution to state and federal politics and most recently in higher education, as Chancellor of the Australian Catholic University. I had the pleasure of presenting him with a papal honour only last year for his service to Church and society. Given public health restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, you are invited to watch a livestream of the Requiem Mass for John Fahey via this link: https://youtu.be/VQ-QlnLsPoo My ongoing prayers are with John’s family at this time. His passing is mourned by all who knew him or of him.
