Bishop Anthony Randazzo Easter Message

They Gave Their Today For Your Tomorrow
Be His witness in the world, in this time of need

Walking in the Chatswood Garden of Remembrance commemorating the Australian men and women from the Willoughby district who died during the Boer War, World War I, World War II, and in Korea, Malaya and Vietnam, Bishop Anthony Randazzo reflects on sacrifices made and the inspiration of Jesus.

Easter message from Bishop Anthony Randazzo

The Garden of Remembrance at Chatswood includes:

  • Picardy Roses grown from budwood obtained from Villiers-Brettonneux and Delville-Wood War Cemeteries in the Somme France. A connection providing a link to an area in which over 30,000 Australian soldiers were killed in action during World War I.
  • Rosemary plants (botanical name Rosmarinus officinalis “Gallipoli”) grown from a cutting brought back from Gallipoli by an injured serviceman in 1915.
