New precinct planned for Sacred Heart Cathedral site aims to give Bendigo a boost
The Catholic Diocese of Sandhurst has submitted plans to rejuvenate the church-owned land adjacent to Sacred Heart Cathedral at the corner of High Street and Short Street.
The $30 million plans will create a new precinct in Bendigo called Cathedral Square.
The new Cathedral Square development will create a vibrant new public space and tourism landmark at the entrance to Bendigo. It will include a new contemporary building and newly landscaped parklands that will respect the local aesthetic and complement the Cathedral.
Sacred Heart Devotion
The cathedral is dedicated to the Glory of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
It is named the Sacred Heart Cathedral.
Homily: Chrism Mass
Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo
As we gather for the Mass of Chrism in this beautiful Cathedral, we are given the opportunity to reflect together on a significant aspect of our faith. Traditionally, the Chrism Mass helps us to focus on the sacramental life of the Church, as we bless the holy oils that will be used in the celebration of four of the seven sacraments. This reminds us that God communicates divine life to each of us by means of the sacraments.
Homily: Installation Mass
Solemn Mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral
It is on occasions such as this, when we gather together in this magnificent Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, that we remember with deep gratitude that we were drawn into the life of God and indeed became part of God's family when we were Baptised in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
