Professor Bezzina wrote the words and Amanda McKenna set them to music. Amanda McKenna is presently employed on a two-year contract with the Diocese of Parramatta and the Parramatta Catholic Education Office as a composer in residence. The principal thrust of this initiative is the production of a range of liturgical and reflection music that better intersects with the yearnings of young people. Accompanying Amanda on the recording are Angie Wilkes (vocal harmony and gembe) and John Milligan (vocal harmony and keyboard). PLEASE NOTE : The version now playing is only an excerpt of the full song. For enquiries about using this song in liturgical settings and copyright information please contact Amanda McKenna directly at amandamckenna@catholica.com.au.

Catholica Australia is proud to preview for a strictly limited time a new song by Mick Bezzina (pictured right) and Amanda McKenna (see images below) which seeks to explore the Annunciation story of Mary, the Mother of God, in more contemporary imagery and musical style. This song was recorded last Thursday evening, 15th February, and presented to Dr Bezzina at a farewell dinner held at Rosehill on Friday night to acknowledge his work as a former director of the Parramatta Catholic Education Office. Michael Bezzina is now working as Adjunct Professor at ACU National in the School of Educational Leadership.
The Mission of Christ, the Mission of the Church, the Mission of a Diocese Dominican bishop, Anthony Fisher, was installed as the Third Bishop of the Western diocese of urban Sydney, the Parramatta Diocese, on 4 March 2010. His homily delivered at the Installation Mass outlined his broad sweep of the Mission of Jesus Christ, the Mission of the Church, and what he sees as his personal Mission which he was seeking to invite the people of the Western suburbs of Sydney to embrace. Here at Catholica we think the homily offers rich food for reflection and discussion at a number of levels: firstly the evident thought put into the address, secondly in that the Western suburbs of Sydney in many respects are typical of the social challenges encountered in almost any major city of the Western world, and also because of questions that intersect with many of the discussions the community at Catholica engages in of the problems facing the Church today. Because of YouTube limitations the video is in three parts of 9m 54s, 5m 59s, 6m 12s (22m 5s total). [Catholica Editorial where we first drew attention to this homily] | [WATCH THE VIDEO]
