All are invited to a Unique Celebration 
in Honour of 
Christ Our King
Sunday 23rd November 2025, 2pm
St Patrick's Cathedral, East Melbourne
Cardinal Mykola Bychok and Archbishop Peter Comensoli
 

We are delighted to announce that for the first time ever we will have Australia's recently appointed Cardinal, His excellency, Mychal Byshok and His Grace, Archbishop Peter A. Comensoli to lead us in the wonderful celebration to honour Christ Our King.

It promises to be a most joyous and uplifting event.  You too can be  apostles for Christ Our King by  inviting your family, friends, parishioners, prayer groups, national groups, young and old, to help  make this a most beautiful tribute to Our King.

​

"Your Kingdom Come!  Come Lord Jesus!"

Every day we pray “Your Kingdom Come”, that is the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom that Christ came to establish on earth.  We have been praying for  this since the time of the apostles.  On one hand we may be tempted to look at the world and think, “if only His Kingdom  would come”.  But it does come, it comes slowly, relentlessly, and then, when we are least expecting it, powerfully.  Consider, for example the Christians in the first centuries  enduring difficulty, persecution, even execution and then, almost in the blink of an eye, the whole Roman Empire was Christian!

The Church has had a very difficult time over the past centuries to say the least. Now the time of struggle is surely about to produce a powerful new rebirth throughout the whole world.  It has been promised, so how can we doubt!  Jesus Himself promised St Faustina that the time is near before He comes again.  At Fatima, Our Lady promised that Her Immaculate Heart will triumph.

We are living in a unique time of grace.  God is working powerfully.  His graces are becoming more and more tangible in the lives of believers.  We can feel and sense a great reawakening about to happen.  

Why not be part of His victory, by really embracing our Catholic Faith?  Why not come and proclaim publicly, at St Patrick’s  Cathedral,  East Melbourne, in a grand celebration and procession  on Sunday 23rd November that Christ is indeed Our King!  

The afternoon will move quickly to its conclusion. It is a full and interesting programme.  Be sure not to miss any part of it. Come by 2:00pm  to receive all the graces and blessings from Our generous and heavenly King. 

How  blessed are we to have our humble saviour who gave up His life for us as our King, one who would gladly go through all the pains and humiliations of Calvary again, to bring us into His incredible love.  This is how His Kingship is so special, so beautiful.  Here is a King who is the  creator of the universe and yet He humbles Himself, making Himself almost at our disposal, especially in Holy Communion, in order to be one with us.  Oh Unfathomable goodness and love! 

Is it not right that we should want to honour Him, to glorify Him to praise Him?  How beautiful to do this publicly with a Eucharistic Procession on this wonderful Feast of Christ the King.  What a wonderful way to end our liturgical year!  We will process around the block on which the Cathedral is situated, asking our Eucharistic Lord, God and King to bless all the four directions of our city, taking it all as His own, to govern to guide to rule.  How our city needs it!  How our families need it!   How miserable are the lives that do not have Christ as their gentle Lord and King!  This is our opportunity too to publicly stand and acknowledge Our Lord.  We know what Our Lord promised:  He who declares Himself for me, I will declare myself for Him!  Please be an apostle of Our King, and invite your family members, the youth, parishioners, and every community to be part of this wonderful celebration.
