Our Catholic Identity
Bulli Parish Weekly Bulletin
https://www.dow.org.au/covid-19/holy-week-online-with-bishop-brian/
As the Lenten season of sacrifice and self-denial approaches its conclusion, we now prepare for the most sacred time of the year for us as Catholic Christians, Holy Week. During this time, we commemorate and remember the last week of Jesus’ life on this earth—from his institution of the Eucharist on Holy Thursday, to his suffering and death on the cross on Good Friday, to his glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday!
You are invited to walk this journey online with Bishop Brian Mascord as we livestream the following Masses and liturgies from St John Vianney Co-Cathedral in Fairy Meadow:
7pm AEST | Holy Thursday (9 April)—Mass of the Lord’s Supper
10am AEST | Good Friday (10 April)—Stations of the Cross
3pm AEST | Good Friday (10 April)—Commemoration of the Lord’s Passion
7pm AEST | Holy Saturday (11 April)—Mass of the Easter Vigil
You can watch here on this page on our Facebook page or YouTube Channel.
As we endure together the new world order that we currently find ourselves in, engaging wholeheartedly in the Easter Triduum has the power to change us forever. Holy Week is an intense immersion in the fundamental mystery of what it is to be Christian. During these days, we suffer with Christ so that we might rise with him at his glorious resurrection.
This is indeed a graced moment for us and the world—God is calling us to clear our schedules of unnecessary activities and fix our minds and hearts on Jesus and what he did for us. Let us bear the cross so that may be worthy of wearing the crown he wore.
We look forward to you coming home for Holy Week with Bishop Brian.
Sacramental Programs and Celebrations of the Sacraments

Holy Week
Celebration for Students
To recognise and celebrate the significant events of Holy Week and Easter Sunday, St Joseph’s students will begin each day of Week 1 next term focusing on a particular Holy Week/Easter event through prayer. We encourage families to join with and support the students each day in prayer, where possible.
On Easter Sunday Christians celebrated the day Jesus was resurrected – the day he rose from the dead. Our challenge this Easter Season is to show that the risen Jesus is alive in our hearts and minds through compassionate actions.
How can we all continue Jesus’ mission of LOVE in the World today?
