The term Holy See comes from the Latin Sancta Sedes, meaning "Holy Chair," and originates from the enthronement ceremony of the Bishop of Rome, the pope. Strictly speaking, the cathedra, i.e. the chair or throne, represents the position and authority of the Holy Father or a bishop, and the place where he resides in the territory of his jurisdiction. Here the Holy See refers to the "seat of government" of the universal Church. Geographically, this seat of government is located in the Diocese of Rome. In terms of actual governance, the Holy See refers specifically to the position of the Holy Father, who "by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, namely, and as pastor of the entire Church, has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered" (Dogmatic Constitution of the Church, #22), Each Feb. 22, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter. To celebrate the feast of a "chair" at first hearing, sounds strange. However, "the chair" refers to the primacy and authority our Lord entrusted to St. Peter, which together are a unifying strength for the whole Church; so, really the "Holy See" is what is celebrated and honored. This primacy and authority are symbolized by the monument of the chair of St. Peter located against the wall of the apse behind the main altar in St. Peters basilica sculpted in bronze by the artist Bernini; the sculpture is a reliquary for what is traditionally believed to have been the original chair or cathedra of St. Peter. Again, what is of importance is not so much the actual chair, but what that chair symbolizes the Holy See.

INVITATION TO JOURNEY TO EASTER THROUGH LENTEN PROGRAMME 2020: “GRACE’

This is a time in our liturgical year where we have the opportunity to prepare our hearts

through inner reflection to receive the gift of renewed life at Easter.

We are encouraged to look as this period of Lent as a “journey”. The invitation has been

extended to other churches in our community to join us in our “journey”. We encourage

you to invite your friends from other faith communities to join us in this ecumenical

Lenten Programme.

This year the programme will be held in our Parish Hall on Tuesday evenings at 7pm

followed by a light supper. Begins Shrove Tuesday 25th February, pancakes included. A

leader will guide each meeting during Lent. Tables of 6-8 people will have opportunity to

share during reflection time. A light supper will follow each meeting which will give more

time for interacting & strengthening the bonds of “faith” in our wider community

Dorothy Tippelt has also extended an invitation to those unable to attend the Tuesday

evening Lenten meetings to her home on Monday afternoons at 1pm which will be led by

Rosemary Rendell.

SMART LOVING

One of simplest ways to support couples is to encourage them to be proactive in nurturing their marriage. And it’s never been easier to do with online marriage enrichment.

Life is busy. Life is unpredictable. You need flexibility and adaptability. Our suite of online courses is designed to deliver high-quality content to you on your timetable, not ours.

There are a range of courses, Engaged Online (an online course for couples preparing to marry in the Catholic Church), Marriage Kit (for married couples wanting to go deeper in love), Breakthrough (for individuals and spouses in difficult situations) and more. Check out online at:: smartloving.org or e-mail Gayle at smoa@bigpond.net.au and information can be forwarded.

QUERIDA AMAZONIA (BELOVED AMAZON) The Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on the Amazon Region, addressed to the People of God and all people of good will, traces new paths of evangelisation and care for the environment and the poor. Pope Francis hopes for a new missionary thrust, and encourages the role of the laity within the ecclesial community

The destiny of the Amazon affects us all, because everything is

connected, and the salvation of this region and its original peoples is

fundamental for the whole world.

Cardinal Michael Czerny, special secretary of the Synod for the Amazon

A copy of Querida Amazonia will be purchased and placed in the Library.
