Homily for the Sixth Sunday of Easter
May 24, 2017 – Audio & Video
Down through the centuries many, many Christian creeds have been composed. Some of them are rather long and complex; the Nicene Creed that we normally say at Mass would fall into that category as its neither short nor simple.
Homily from Solemn Dedication of Stella Maris Church, Maroochydore
April 26, 2017 – Video
This nameless woman, from Samaria, we’re told she comes to the well. Now there could be nothing more ordinary than a well. In that part of the world, at that time, every town and every village had a well.
Homily for the Annual Catholic Campaign 2016
September 12, 2016 – Audio & Video
In this Year of Mercy we see more clearly than ever that mercy isn’t passive but active. It’s not a matter of waiting for those who need mercy to come to us. We have to go out in search of them, wherever and whoever they may be.
Homily for All Saints 2015
November 1, 2015 – Audio & Video
Here in my hand is a very fat book and on the spine of it is written its official title. It is in Latin – and it says Martyrologium Romanum – translated – the Roman Martyrology. What is it? A list of all the saints for every day of the year.
Homily for the Annual Catholic Campaign 2015
September 6, 2015 – Audio & Video
Families come in all shapes and sizes. There’s the nuclear family, but also the extended family. There’s the family of the Church and there’s even the human family. Every family has its problems; every family has its challenges. Certainly the human family has its share of both.

Once they set forth from the land of Egypt, the house of their slavery, the chosen people show themselves to be a resounding bunch of whingers. They leave Egypt and they head for the Red Sea. Then they hear the thundering of Pharaoh’s Army coming to get them. Every empire needs a slave class to…
Homily by Archbishop Mark Coleridge for Easter Sunday Mass 2015
April 5, 2015 – Video
On Good Friday morning, after the Stations of the Cross in the Cathedral, I had an encounter with a lady who had come to the Cathedral to protest, which is of course her right. She was anxious about a number of things in the Church, one of which was sexual abuse. In the course of…
Homily by Archbishop Mark Coleridge at Mass for Archdiocesan Curia
February 6, 2015 – Video
One of the great treasures of the Archdiocese of Brisbane is this precinct, standing as it does right at the heart of the Central Business District, the capital. Thank goodness Archbishop Duhig did not build the Holy Name Cathedral. He’s probably turning in his tomb as he hears his successor say this. Yet if he…
Homily by Archbishop Mark Coleridge for the 30th Sunday of Ordinary Time
October 26, 2014 – Video

Homily by Archbishop Mark Coleridge for the 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time
October 5, 2014 – Video
Sometimes it’s said that the church doesn’t have to be successful, the church has to be faithful. Now there is some truth in that but there is also a danger that that kind of claim can be a cop out. I guess it depends on what you mean by success. We certainly have to be…
Homily by Archbishop Mark Coleridge for the 50th Anniversary Mass of Caritas
September 21, 2014 – Video
I’m not at all sure what a Fair Pay Commission would make of what we have just heard (in the Gospel). I suspect that they would at least understand the grumbling of those who have copped one denarius after a full days work when the latecomers, who did only a little bit of the work, received the same pay.
Homily by Archbishop Mark Coleridge for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
September 14, 2014 – Video
In the Gospel story that we have just heard we meet the intriguing figure of Nicodemus. Now Nicodemus was really somebody. He was one of the leading Jews and belonged to the leadership group that was called the Sanhedrin but he wanted to meet Jesus. Clearly something in Jesus had struck him, or something in…
Homily by Archbishop Mark Coleridge for the 15th Sunday of Ordinary time
July 13, 2014 – Video
In his teaching style Jesus of Nazareth was in many ways just like all the other rabbis. Yet there are certain points at which the teaching style of Jesus is utterly distinctive. One of those ways is that he takes the simplest, most ordinary and familiar things to talk about the most complex, extraordinary and…
Homily for Ordination Mass for Fr Martin Larsen and Fr Leonard Uzuegbu
June 27, 2014 – Video
Way back in 1966 the German Jesuit Theologian Karl Rahner wrote a short piece about the priest of the future. What he wrote has turned out to be prophetic. It made an impression on me when I was a seminarian and it still makes an impression upon me, more so perhaps now than then. The…
Homily for Mass celebrating Archbishop Mark Coleridge’s fortieth anniversary of ordination
May 17, 2014 – Video
The 18th of May 1974 was the 54th birthday of the then Archbishop of Kraków, Karol Wojtlya, who later happened to become Pope John Paul II, and in more recent times a saint. That was all back in Poland. In Melbourne it was a cold , misty Saturday morning and into St Patrick’s Cathedral, which looked…
Homily for ANZAC Day Mass 2014
April 25, 2014 – Video
On this enormous island, with its endless coasts and waters, and in this most urbanised of all cultures, the beach occupies a very important place in the Australian psyche, not just physically but also symbolically. We can even speak in Australia of there being a beach culture. But the beach is a two edged sword….
Homily from Easter Sunday Mass 2014
April 20, 2014 – Video
Just recently I was on pilgrimage in the Holy Land and yet again I was struck by the topography of Jerusalem, the Holy City. By the topography I mean the landscape. It really is a city made not exactly for mountain goats, but for those with sturdy legs, which Jesus surely had. It really is…

Safeguarding Strategy 2018-2020
July 2, 2018 – Video
Pope Francis has laid out a clear message for the Church when it comes to the crucial question of safeguarding. He puts it this way: “The Church loves all her children like a loving mother, but she protects with a special affection those who are smallest and defenceless. Now the duty that Christ himself entrusted to the Church is exactly this, the Church is especially vigilant in protecting children and vulnerable adults.”

Archbishop Mark Coleridge’s Lenten Pastoral Message 2016
February 12, 2016 – Audio & Video
In Rome the Year of Mercy began on 8 December last year. But that was hardly realistic here in the Antipodes, with the rush to Christmas through December and then the January lull. We opened the Door of Mercy in the Cathedral on the Third Sunday of Advent, but the Year of Mercy really begins…

November 26, 2015 – Audio & Video

February 18, 2015 – Video
The forty days of Lent find us on a journey from last year’s first session of the Synod on marriage and the family to the second session later this year which I will attend. In recent times and in places like Australia, there’s been intense, even excessive focus on certain hot-button issues like Communion for…
“Two Become One Flesh” – Archbishop Coleridge’s Advent Pastoral Letter 2014

Dear brothers and sisters, Marriage has been much on the Church’s mind in recent times. The first of the two sessions of the Synod of Bishops on marriage has recently been held in Rome and the second will follow next year. In another sense, marriage is much on the Church’s mind every time we enter…
2014 Pentecost Message to Young People from Archbishop Mark Coleridge
June 14, 2014 – Video
Pentecost is all about unleashing new energy – wild fire and wild wind. The first disciples certainly needed new energy as they cringed behind closed doors after the death of Jesus. They’d seen him die and thought they might be next to go. But not even the closed doors could keep the fire and wind…
