Mr. Melvin Dunphy STA Early Childhood Center: 376-2330; Bishop Larkin Catholic School (K-8): 862-6981 Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School: 857-2600 Fourth Sunday of Advent - December 22, 2019 SCRIPTURE REFLECTION Mary had to face an enormous challenge to her faith and trust in God and to the faith of her family and Joseph, the man she chose to marry. She was asked to assume a burden of tremendous responsibility. It had never been heard of before that a child could be born without a natural father. Mary was asked to accept this miraculous exception to the laws of nature. That required faith and trust in God and in his promises. Second, Mary was not yet married. Pregnancy outside of wedlock was not tolerated in those days. Mary was only espoused to Joseph, and such an engagement had to last for a whole year. She was asked to assume a great risk. She could have been rejected by Joseph, by her family, by all her own people. Mary knew that Joseph and her family would not understand without revelation from God. She nonetheless believed and trusted in God's promises. Joseph, a just and God-fearing man, did not wish to embarrass or punish his espoused wife, Mary when he discovered that she was pregnant.

    1 Studies of Religion Environmental Ethics Unit, Christian NSW Catholic Sustainable Schools Project November 2015 Stage 6 Studies of Religion Environmental Ethics Unit, Christian Catholic Sustainable developed and supported by Schools Network NSW 2 Introduction To assist teachers undertaking the Environmental Ethics unit within the Stage 6 Studies of Religion. This Unit has been developed with assistance from the Office of Environment & Heritage (OEH), and the Association of the Studies of Religion (ASR). A small writing team was formed. Writing team: Catholic Sustainable Schools Network – Sue Martin (St Ignatius’ College, Riverview) & Anne Lanyon (Columban Mission Institute) New South Wales Office of Environment & Heritage – Mark Caddey Association of the Studies of Religion –Louise Zavone Catholic Mission - Beth Riolo Catholic Education Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn - Kim-Maree Goodwin Loreto College Normanhurst - Libby Parker Marist Sisters College Woolwich - Andrew Dumas Our Lady of Mercy College Parramatta - Natalie White St Patrick’s Campbelltown Campbelltown - Maria Boulatsakos Project Background This resource provides up-to-date material for students and teachers wanting to engage with the Environmental Ethics component of the Studies of Religion Course. The nature of Christian Environmental Ethics is evolving in the context of the signs of the times. With the publication by Pope Francis on 24th May, 2015 of the first Encyclical on the environment, “Laudato Si”, official Catholic Teaching on Environmental Ethics is taking a new direction. Catholic environmental teaching is moving from an anthropocentric position to a perspective of universal communion. As with Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestant variants are continuing to develop and provide guidance to their adherence in the forms of teachings and official documents.

  • St. Augustine Statistics
    The Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine On Sept. 8, 1565, a small band of Spaniards celebrated Mass on the shores of North Florida in preparation for starting a settlement there. They named their new home St. Augustine in honor of the saint on whose feast day they sighted land. Thus were the seeds of Christianity sown in North America. St. Augustine is the site of the first permanent parish church, now the Cathedral-Basilica. The famed Santa Fe Trail origi- nated here. It was from here that Franciscan missionaries began the trek North and West to proclaim the Good News. It was here that the first schools and hospitals were established. It was not until March 11, 1870 that Florida, east of the Apalachicola River, was designated as the Diocese of St. Augustine. The growth of the church in Florida from this Mother Diocese to six additional dioceses and more than 2.1 million Catholics is a significant part of the story of the Catholic Church in the United States. Today, the Diocese of St. Augustine encompasses 17 counties spanning the northeast section of Florida from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. It covers 11,032 square miles and serves about 171,000 registered Catholics.
