A way to keep the Jubilee Year
here in the Diocese of Broken Bay
Bishop Anthony has established three ‘Jubilee Shrines’ in our diocese—a Shrine of Hope for Young People at Chatswood, dedicated to Blessed Carlo Acutis; a Shrine of Hope for Families at Gosford, dedicated to Pope St John Paul II, and a Shrine of Hope for Vocations and Priestly Ministry at Manly, dedicated to St John Vianney.
The (pictured) Jubilee booklets are near the church doors) Inside you’ll find a ‘Jubilee Passport’ which can be used as follows:
* Jubilee Passports can be stamped at each Shrine and at our Cathedral at Waitara to acknowledge visit and time of prayer within (pre-book your visit with the respective parish office so that someone will be available to stamp your passport).
* once all three Shrines and our Cathedral, with respective stamps, have been visited, a Pilgrim’s passport is “complete”.
* pilgrims then have their passports verified at their own Parish Office.
* each Parish will notify Mission Broken Bay with the names of those pilgrims who have completed their passports so that they may receive a special commemorative certificate signed by Bishop Anthony.
Perhaps this is a pilgrimage that you could make either as an individual or as a family over several weekends this Jubilee year.
Are you, or someone you know,
thinking of becoming a Catholic?
Our RCIA ministry is our way of preparing people for the sacraments of new birth and membership of the Christian community. The RCIA process starts around the middle of the year and leads to the following Easter. However, if someone is seeking Christian faith but actually has no previous background to it, we have a separate and earlier process to help them be ready for RCIA itself - this preparatory process starts around February.
In either case we’d love to hear from you NOW so that we can arrange for the best possible process to prepare you for your welcome into the Church. Please contact Jos Beunen at jos.beunen@gmail.com or on 0427 993 982
