1 Marist Place, Parramatta NSW 2150, AustraliaJoin us for Mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Parramatta for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord and World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life.
The World Day of Prayer for Consecrated life is held annually on the 2nd of February. In this year of Jubilee 2025, the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, occurs on Sunday. So, on Sunday 2nd February, the men and women in Consecrated life will join with the Parishioners of St. Patrick’s Parish Parramatta, at the 11 am Solemn High Mass for a special celebration of Consecrated Life.
Jubilee candles featuring individual crests have been prepared for each Order or Congregation and will be blessed during a short ceremony in the Cathedral courtyard then carried in procession into the Cathedral.
The ceremony followed by the Eucharistic Liturgy is reflective of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple when Simeon recognised and proclaimed Jesus as the light for all nations.
