  • Professor Zlatko Skrbiš Formally Installed As ACU Vice-Chancellor and President
    MEDIA RELEASE 27/03/21 Professor Zlatko Skrbiš formally installed as ACU Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Zlatko Skrbiš was installed as Australian Catholic University’s fourth Vice-Chancellor and President at an installation Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney on Friday 26 March. Most Rev Mark Coleridge, President of ACU Corporation, President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, and Archbishop of Brisbane, was the principal celebrant, and Most Rev Anthony Fisher OP, Archbishop of Sydney delivered the homily. A performance of a Slovenian folk song ‘Zarja’ (‘Dawn’) preceded the ceremony. Due to COVID restrictions, members of Professor Skrbiš’s family were unable to travel from Slovenia to attend the Mass; they recorded the musical performance as a gift to him. Professor Skrbis pledged his commitment to leading the university as an ethical, enterprising organisation that would have an impact both within and across the communities in which it inhabits. “To be successful as a Vice-Chancellor in any university, you have to be good at all of the things you would expect of any Vice-Chancellor: prioritising the needs of our students, ethical leadership, commitment to research, effective administration, and the pursuit of excellence in all of our intellectual endeavours. “However, to be successful as a Vice-Chancellor at a Catholic university, you need to do all of that and also be very good at leading it in its Catholic endeavours. This is because a Catholic university is, by definition, part of the Church. Whilst having its own governance structures, it is genuinely part of the wider ecclesial mission of the Church in Australia and the world.

There was one element that stands out during Christmas: the lights!! But why so many lights? To remind Father Phillip Alstin us that the Child in the manger is the Light of the world. Parish staff In this season of Lent, we shift our reflection from the Babe in the manger to the Man of Robyn Grave suffering on the Cross. Does his suffering and death mean that he ceases to be the Light? Parish Secretary No; his light penetrates even the deepest darkness of sin and death. The Cross lifts up the Light that all may see him and find hope in his mercy. Parish office hours Light is associated with the sense of sight, an important part Tuesday—1.30pm—4.15pm of our overall health. Today’s Gospel reminds us that Jesus, Wednesday 1.30pm—4.15pm the Light of the world, is a healer, bringing health to body and Thursday 1.30pm—4.15pm spirit. In giving sight to a man born blind, Jesus give him not Friday 1.30pm—4.15pm only bodily well-being but spiritual health as well. With the Weekend Mass suspended gift of physical sight, Jesus opens the window of the man’s church will be open at the soul, so that he can recognise Jesus.

  • Bishops Commission for Church Ministry & National Council Of
    Bishops Commission for Church Ministry & National Council of Priests of Australia Thursday 23 February 2017 Bishops Commission for Church Ministry Chairman: Bishop Peter Ingham Members: Archbishop Mark Coleridge Bishop Michael McCarthy Bishop Patrick O’Regan Bishop Leslie Tomlinson Bishop William Wright NCP Executive Chairman: Father James Clarke Members: Father Wayne Bendotti Father Bonefasius Buahendri SVD Father Mark Freeman Father Paddy Sykes The Royal Commission The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Sexual Abuse continues to haunt us. This month’s Catholic wrap up is particularly distressing because it is highlighting the extent of the criminal behaviour of clergy within our Church. Our people are the subject of derision and ridicule. The priesthood is held up to be a profession for paedophiles and degenerates. One of the unintended consequences of the Royal Commission is that it has condoned anti-Catholicism as the last legitimate prejudice left in Australia. In our press release, the executive of the N.C.P. declared our support for the initiatives of the Bishops of Australia in their endeavours to eradicate the scourge of sexual abuse which is a blight on our Church. We wish to reiterate our support for you and assure you of our prayers during this time of trial. The effect on clergy morale is palpable. However, we believe that we will come through this trial strengthened in our resolve to be a more compassionate Church. Questions we have for the bishops: • Will there be an investigation into the cultural factors which contributed to the sexual abuse crisis? • Will the bishops implement the recommendations of the Truth, Justice and Healing Council? Overseas Priests Ministering in our Dioceses There is a frustration amongst priests who have overseas assistant priests working with them in parish ministry.

  • Bishop Mark Edwards Appointed to Wagga Wagga
    AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS CONFERENCE Bishop Mark Edwards appointed to Wagga Wagga Media Release May 26, 2020 Pope Francis has this evening appointed Bishop Mark Edwards OMI the sixth Bishop of Wagga Wagga. Bishop Edwards, who will turn 61 next month, was born in Indonesia and grew up in Adelaide, Darwin and Melbourne’s southeast, attending St Leonard’s Primary School and Mazenod College. Mazenod was founded by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, the order he would eventually join. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1986 and has held leadership positions within the Australian Province of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. He was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne on November 7, 2014 and ordained bishop the following month. Bishop Edwards’ priestly ministry has largely centred on secondary school and seminary education, including serving as rector of Iona College in Brisbane and as aspirants’ master and novice master at St Mary’s Seminary in Mulgrave. In addition to his priestly formation and theological training, Bishop Edwards completed a science degree at Monash University, where he also obtained a doctorate in philosophy. In a letter to the faithful of Wagga Wagga, Bishop Edwards described his appointment “as a call from God to be with you and journey with you as disciple, brother and bishop”. “Together, as a community of missionary disciples, we will worship, love and evangelise,” he said. “I am aware that I have much to learn, particularly about parish life and the joys and challenges of being a Catholic in Wagga Wagga. Keen to listen to your stories and those of the Diocese, I come humbly, with deep interest and love.

  • Why the Delays in Appointing Australia's Bishops?
    Why the delays in appointing Australia’s Bishops? Bishops for the Australian mission From 1788, when the First Fleet sailed into Botany Bay, until 31 March 2016, seventeen popes have entrusted the pastoral care of Australia’s Catholics to 214 bishops. Until 1976 the popes had also designated Australia a ‘mission’ territory and placed it under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide which largely determined the selection of its bishops. The first five bishops never set foot on Australian soil. All English, they shepherded from afar, three from London, and two from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa where, from 1820 to 1832, they tendered their flock in distant New Holland and Van Diemen’s Land via priest delegates. The selection and appointment in 1832 of Australia’s first resident bishop, English Benedictine John Bede Polding, as Vicar Apostolic of New Holland and Van Diemen’s Land, was the result of long and delicate political and ecclesiastical negotiations between Propaganda, the British Home Secretary, the Vicars Apostolic of the London District and Cape of Good Hope, the English Benedictines, and the senior Catholic clerics in NSW. The process was repeated until English candidates were no longer available and the majority Irish Catholic laity in Australia had made it clear that they wanted Irish bishops. The first Irish bishop, Francis Murphy, was appointed by Pope Gregory XVI in 1842, and by 1900, another 30 Irish bishops had been appointed. Propaganda’s selection process was heavily influenced by Irish bishops in Ireland and Australia and the predominantly Irish senior priests in the Australian dioceses.

  • The Culture of Discretion - in Conversation with Archbishop of Brisbane, Mark Coleridge
    The culture of discretion - in conversation with Archbishop of Brisbane, Mark Coleridge Archbishop of Brisbane, Mark Coleridge was working in the Holy See’s Secretariat of State from 1997-2002 when the Boston Globe revealed the appalling scandal and widespread impact of clerical sex abuse throughout the world. Pope John Paul II was forced to act and convened a meeting of the American Cardinals to address the issue and find a way forward. Many working in the Vatican at the time had little knowledge of clerical sex abuse or experience in dealing with it. Archbishop Coleridge had a little more understanding than some, given he was in Melbourne in the 1980s and 90s as the first cases emerged. He was a Church spokesperson when the controversy began to rage. During his nearly five years in Rome and after returning to Australia to take up positions as the Auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne and later Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn, Archbishop Coleridge grew to understand the devastating impact of clerical sex abuse. In May 2010, when he was Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn, Archbishop Coleridge outlined his understanding of clerical sex abuse in a Pentecost Letter on sexual abuse of young people in the Catholic Church. He identified what he believed were cultural factors at work inside the Church and the inadequacies of the both the Church’s legal and moral response to clerical sex abuse. Archbishop Coleridge is a strong advocate for survivors and a valued council member of the Truth Justice and Healing Council. Last month Archbishop Coleridge spoke with Scott Stephens on ‘Conversations’, ABC 702.
