Bishop Randazzo has decreed that all Churches be closed during this period. Since this is at the request of Most Rev Anthony Randazzo, the obligation for the faithful to participate in Sunday Mass (can.1247) is lifted for the people of Broken Bay for the duration of this stay at home order. Therefore, there will be NO Masses during this time. We will update you of any changes as they arise. For any assistance, please contact the Parish Office on 4341 1073. MISSION and VISION Bringing Jesus Christ to ALL through: Worship and Liturgy; Outreach; Our Parish School; Hospitality; Adult and Child Faith Formation We The Woy Woy Catholic Parish acknowledge the Traditional Custodians who have walked upon and cared for this land for thousands of years. We acknowledge the continued deep spiritual attachment and relationship of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to this country and commit ourselves to the ongoing journey of Reconciliation. The Wider Church In 1986, the parish of Woy Woy/Umina became part of the new diocese of Broken Bay. Prior to this, the parish had been part of the Sydney archdiocese. The diocese of Broken bay includes most of the North Shore, Northern Beaches and Central Coast regions of Sydney, The first bishop of Broken Bay was Bishop Patrick Murphy. Upon his retirement in September ‘96, Bishop David Walker was installed as the second bishop of the diocese. A Parish Centre was opened at 127 Blackwall Road, next door to the Presbytery in 1993. As well as being a drop in centre, it is a centre for the co-ordination of Activities of the Parish Commu- nity.

Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ Jesus poses the question “But who do you say I am?” in today’s Gospel passage. It is a question posed to Peter and the disciples, to Matthew’s first readers, and to the Church today. Peter’s confession of faith in Jesus as Christ and Son of God was a culmination of what the disciples had experienced in their life with Jesus thus far. Jesus affirms Peter’s declaration as a gift from God. But it was only the beginning of Peter’s understanding of what these words actually meant, and how the disciples saw themselves in light of this truth. As Jesus and the disciples turned toward Jerusalem and to the cross, the disciples perhaps pondered their own identity, together with their dawning understanding of Jesus’ identity. For us, the journey of faith, initiated and sustained by the Holy Spirit, means an ongoing reflection upon who Jesus is and who we are. ~ Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

  • St. Monica Feast: August 27
    St. Monica Feast: August 27 Facts Feast Day: August 27 Patron: of Wives and Abuse Victims Birth: 331 Death: 387 Saint Monica, also known as Monica of Hippo, is St. Augustine of Hippo's mother. She was born in 331 A.D. in Tagaste, which is present-day Algeria. When she was very young, she was married off to the Roman pagan Patricius, who shared his mother's violent temper. Patricius' mother lived with the couple and the duo's temper flares proved to be a constant challenge to young Monica. While Monica's prayers and Christian deeds bothered Patricius, he is said to have respected her beliefs. Three children were born to Monica and Patricius: Augustine, Navigius, and Perpetua. Unfortunately, Monica was unable to baptize her children and when Augustine fell ill, Monica pleaded with Patricius to allow their son to be baptized. Patricius allowed it, but when Augustine was healthy again, he withrew his permission. For years Monica prayed for her husband and mother-in-law, until finally, one year before Patricius' death, she successfully converted them. As time passed, Perpetua and Navigius entered the religious life, but unfortunately Augustine became lazy and uncouth. This greatly worried Monica, so when Patricius died, she sent the 17-year-old Augustine to Carthage for schooling. While in Carthage, Augustine became a Manichaean, which was a major religion that saw the world as light and darkness, and when one died, they were removed from the world of matter and returned to the world of light, which is where life comes from.

  • Ostia Antica Tour
    Ostia Antica Tour From Wikipedia: Under the Romans, Ostia Antica reached a peak of some 75,000 inhabitants in the 2nd and 3rd century AD. A slow decline began in the time of Constantine I, and the decaying conditions of the city were mentioned by St. Augustine when he passed through in the late 4th century. His mother, St. Monica, died in an inn here. The poet Rutilius Namatianus also reported the lack of maintenance of the city in 414. Recent excavations, however, put the date of decline later. The city contained 26 operating baths in the 4th century and there is plenty of evidence of repairs on public buildings and the construction of new edifices. Though showing decay in some areas, the late period is one of transition from a city filled with workers employed in collecting, storing and moving huge amounts of grain, oil and wine (and other products) to feed Rome to one with the character of a seaside resort. The city remained prosperous into the 5th century. It was the seat of the Prefect of the Annona. There is expansion beyond the western and southern walls in the area of the Porta Marina.[1] Ostia became an episcopal see as early as the 3rd century AD, with the cathedral (titulus) of Santa Aurea erected over the tomb of St. Monica. As the centuries passed, Ostia fell into ruin but continued to provide maritime access for visitors to Rome. Saracen pirates were a frequent concern; the naval Battle of Ostia was fought off the coast in 849.

  • Papal Policy: the Planning of Rome During
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Rotberg, Robert I. ; Rabb, Theodore K. (Hrsgg.): Art and history : images and their meaning, Cambridge 1988, S. 39-65 Christoph L. Frommel Papal Policy: The Planning of Rome during the Renaissance The investigation of patronage and town plan­ ning has become increasingly important for our understanding of the history of architecture and in particular for the history of Roman Renaissance architecture. The projects of individual popes have been thoroughly analyzed, but no attempt has been made to look at papal building policy during the Renaissance as a whole, to find out its principal motives, or to distinguish between con­ tinuous and discontinuous forces. This article suggests that much of the unique beauty of Renaissance Rome is the result of the particular character of papal government.1 The center of the old city of Rome differs from that of other Italian towns in that it has two centers of gravity: the Vatican and the Capitol. Until too years ago both were situated on the pe­ riphery of the city. The Capitol, which since the Middle Ages had been the seat of the communal administration, only attained its present representative character during the sixteenth and sev­ enteenth centuries and earlier was anything but impressive. Even before its recent isolation from the rest of the city was achieved by archaeologists and patriots seeking to preserve its character, it did not play a role comparable to that of the urban centers of Venice, Florence, Siena, or other smaller towns. The Vatican, at Christoph L. Frommel is Director of the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome.

  • 1. Protestants Were Also Inspired by Father Mcgivney's Witness of Faith
    I have had a couple good suggestions on possible KonB ride locations……but the challenge seems to be finding a date that accommodates everyone’s busy schedules? Dioceses of Yakima president brother Bret “Shooter” suggested riding out to the mission at Ahtanum just outside Yakima. “Shooter” and I have made this ride before and later several of us with our wives attended mass out there. Below is some background history…….. I suggest this be our next official KonB ride and look to you the roster members for a date? Perhaps a Saturday sometime in the near feature of pristine riding weather….. Ahtanum St. Joseph Mission The Gospel was brought to the Yakama in 1847 by Fathers Charles Pandosy, Casimir Chirouse, George Blancehett and Father Richard at the request of Chief Owhi. The St. Joseph Mission at the Ahtanum was not established until 1852, but this Mission is on the lands of Chief Kamiakin who asked the priests to come to this group of Yakama. These French priests, Oblates of Mary Immaculate, were some of the first non-Indians to reside in the Yakima Valley. The little Mission, fifth of five Missions established by the Oblates, was the first church in the Ahtanum area. Originally 677 acres, the Mission site fronted a small creek and was where most of the agricultural activities were established and maintained. From the Oblates the Indians learned the art of making the soil produce much of the necessities for human consumption. The priests remained at the Mission, teaching and baptizing, until November 1855 when the local Indian wars took their toll on the Mission.
