Bishop Anthony Randazzo’s Christmas Message 2024

“Jesus Christ came into the world to remind us that hope is not the absence of difficulty, but the strength to endure and the grace to heal. This Christmas, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, let us open our hearts to the hope He brings. May you have a blessed Christmas, filled with the peace of Christ. And may the Jubilee Year be a time of joy, renewal, and hope for you and your families.” – Bishop Anthony Randazzo.


Christmas Message 2024

Most Rev Anthony Randazzo DD JCL
Bishop of Broken Bay

On that holy night in Bethlehem, I imagine Mary, the mother of Jesus, gazing lovingly into the eyes of her newborn son. In that tender look, she did not simply see a child, but the very hope of the world. In those eyes, she saw the fulfillment of God’s promise: a Saviour who would bring light to all peoples, healing to the broken-hearted, peace to the weary, and hope to those who struggle.

"My prayer for the Church of Broken Bay is that it will be a community of faith, One in Christ. A community where we are guided by the Holy Spirit towards Jesus Christ as his disciples supported by a vibrant Church where parishes are not only homes of prayer, worship and authentic Catholic formation but places of joy-filled gatherings."

Most Rev Anthony Randazzo, Bishop of Broken Bay

Safeguarding in Broken Bay

Our care, wellbeing and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults.


commitment-badge


The Diocese of Broken Bay demonstrates a commitment to its people by the provision of many varied works for the Common Good. It is through these works that the value and personal dignity of the person is celebrated and protected. When a Diocesan community is called upon to safeguard its people, the Catholic Church is asking them to pro-actively support a culture of safety and care that espouses honesty, engagement, and conversation.

The result is a community environment where children and vulnerable adults: know that their community is alert to areas of risk and harm, and are capable of applying appropriate actions of prevention; are confident to voice their concerns at all times, and have trust that their concerns will be listened to respectfully and seriously.

Blessed Pope Pius IX placed the universal Church under his patronage and declared St Joseph the patron of the Catholic Church. The feast day of St Joseph is celebrated on 19 March. With great love and care Joseph watched over Jesus and Mary and fulfilled his vocation as a faithful guardian of the Holy Family. Read more about our Saints and Feast here.
