Bishop Anthony

"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.
