In this season, we find there’s much to ponder about the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, writes Broome Administrator and Geraldton Bishop Michael Morrissey in his 2022 Christmas Message.

Thoughts around ‘Why did Mary, heavily pregnant, and Joseph, have to travel to Bethlehem at such a difficult time?’ or ‘Why did no one seem to care about their situation and plight when they reached Bethlehem?’

Geraldton residents have rallied in the wake of the ferocious Cyclone Seroja that crossed the coast near Kalbarri on the night of 11 April 2021. The ex-tropical cyclone carved a path of destruction across a 1000km stretch of WA’s Mid-West with 170km/h gusty winds. By Matthew Lau.
