LENTEN JOURNEY
Our Lenten Journey is marked by penance, prayer, and preparation. In this Holy Year 2025, the Jubilee of Hope, we are called to draw nearer to Christ and to one another as members of His Body, the Church.

LENTEN RESOURCE
Mission Broken Bay has prepared a Lenten Resource 2025 (click to download) to cover the six weeks of Lent. The booklet includes a reading of the Gospel text, a reflection on the text, and a personal testimony, along with reflection questions to guide discussions. The booklet can be used individually or as part of a group.
Defibrillator: You may have noticed at the entrance to the Church that we have installed a portable defibrillator for emergencies. A defibrillator is a device that sends an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat. An instructional video is available here. While this video shows everything about our defibrillator, this link will start at the training section at 5 min 42secs. Our defibrillator uses voice prompts to guide you should you need to use it. Please note that there may be several reasons someone may have collapsed and is unresponsive. There is a priority of things to do immediately, like calling 000, checking airways and CPR. An easy-to-use checklist will be available in the defibrillator cabinet. We are considering training for interested parishioners. Please email or call Richard Houwing to express your interest: Richard.Houwing@bbcatholic.org.au or phone 9876 2853.
