Hope and joy in new life

In his Christmas message for 2024, Archbishop Peter A Comensoli focuses on the familiar, hopeful image of the Holy Family—‘a mother and father hovering attentively over their newborn child’—and how it invites us into ‘a promise that transcends time and place‘, and that has the power to transform our lives, our families and the world.

The Melbourne Catholic e-newsletter will be taking a break over Christmas and January, returning in the first week of February. Thank you for reading. We look forward to sharing the journey of hope with you again in 2025.

‘The Holy Family speaks to us of hope and joy in new life—to each of us in our own local families. The child points us to where peace can be found—especially for the world beyond us.’
Archbishop Peter A Comensoli
