Upcoming Events

Finding silence with Saint Joseph

Finding silence with Saint Joseph means embracing a “holy silence” marked by inner reflection, prayer, and trust in God, rather than simply the absence of noise. As a model of attentive listening and faithful action, Joseph’s silence creates space to hear God’s will, deepen one’s prayer life, and reflect on his role as the protector of the Holy Family.

2026 Young Voices Awards

Explore the theme, ‘To go boldly: The path of faith and justice’, and share stories of courage, conviction, and faith in action. Open to Years 5–12, students can submit articles, photographs, or digital media, with prizes for each category and age group.

Deadline: 5pm (AEST) Friday, 8 May 2026

Day of the Unborn Child

Join the Marian Procession through the streets of the Sydney CBD as we publicly bear witness to the dignity of every unborn child. Led by Anthony Fisher, this day of prayer and remembrance in the lead-up to the Solemnity of the Annunciation begins at St Mary’s Cathedral.
