Because the death of Jesus was the final act of love in a life lived in love, explained Perth Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Holy Spirit Church, City Beach Parish, the Cross, rather than being a source of scandal or a place of defeat, becomes a source of life for us.

The Christian community is called to be a community of prayer, Perth Archbishop Timothy Costelloe has said, speaking at the annual 2024 Chrism Mass.

“A community in other words which knows, and embraces the fundamental truth that our faith, before it is about anything else, is about our relationship with God and, as a consequence of this, our relationship with our brothers and sisters in the faith.”

In commencing the start of the Easter Triddum, Perth Auxiliary Bishop Don Sproxton highlighted that the first brings us to the room where Jesus gathered his disciples with Mary for a Passover meal.

The Rite of Election 2024 Mass, held at St Mary’s Cathedral, Perth is part of an ancient Catholic tradition where the catechumens and candidates are prepared to be received fully into the Catholic Church.

This marks the first time such recognition has been bestowed upon an Australian organisation (since the awards began in 2005), highlighting the Archdiocese’s strong commitment to safeguarding.

Organised by the Vocations Office and Committee, the event forms part of the Archdiocese’s commitment to supporting the wellbeing of seminarians through initiatives that foster connections with the Catholic and wider community and support their personal and social development.
