REVISIONING CATHOLIC SCHOOLS IN AN EDUCATION REVOLUTION
- Directors of Catholic Education Conference -
Bishop Gerard Holohan
(Sydney, 23 April 2009)
I begin my comments by expressing thanks to you, the leaders of our
Australian Catholic school system, for all that you are doing for our
young people in Catholic schools. We live in challenging times, given
the curriculum, funding and other challenges being faced at present –
times that are particularly difficult for you. Thank you for your
efforts to guide the schools in your dioceses, always having in view
their distinctive mission in the Australian community.

Preparing to Experience Christ Through The Mass |
|
|
|
Over the past two thousand years, the Mass has been the most powerful means of drawing upon the power of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, for the needs of people’s lives. The greatest means he left us to do so is the Eucharist. But to draw on this power, believers need to prepare themselves for the basic experiences Jesus offers through the Eucharist, which he instituted at the Last Supper.

Two Changes to the Ritual of the Mass |

On Pentecost Sunday, two minor changes will be introduced into the celebration of the Mass across Australia. These changes are the result of the review of the ritual of the Mass undertaken at the direction of Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

Sharing the Eucharist with Others |
|
|
If I could believe that Jesus is present in the Eucharist, I would crawl over broken glass if necessary to be with him.
These are the words of a minister from another Christian church to a friend of mine. Sometimes, when I think of these words, I wonder if our practice and behaviour, including in Church, suggests that we Catholics may have come to take the Eucharist at times for granted.

Let the Eucharist Change Us |

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ
In April last year, Pope John Paul II launched a world-wide renewal of Catholic belief and practices in the Eucharist. He published an Encyclical letter to all Catholics, Ecclesia de Eucharistica (‘The Eucharist in the Life of the Church’). The climax of this renewal will be a Synod of Bishops from every part of the world on the Eucharist, to be held in Rome next year.
