Religious Organisations in Sydney

Sydney is a city of more than 4 million people within this area are 4 dioceses. The word church means convocation or an assembly. It designates the assemblies of a people, usually for a religious purpose. The Church is the People that God gathers in the total world and it exists in local communities and is made real as a liturgical, above all a Eucharistic, assembly. In the liturgical assembly we are gathered together by the Word of God and the Sacraments to form the People of God. The Church is the visible plan of God's love for humanity, because God desires that the total human race may become one People of God, form one Body of Christ, and be built up into one temple of the Holy Spirit. The lay faithful (laity) are those who have become members of the Church through baptism. For in the Church there is diversity of ministry but unity of mission. But the laity are made to share in the priestly, prophetical, and kingly office of Christ they have therefore, in the Church and in the world, their own assignment in the mission of the total People of God. The Church in this world is the sacrament of salvation. Shields of arms, both ecclesiastical and lay, are usually surrounded by outer ornaments which identify the rank of the person and, sometimes, the nature of the institution whose arms they are. The blazon or technical description of the arms on the shield is: Azure (blue), on a cross argent (silver, shown as white) four eight pointed stars Jules (red.). The red cross on a white field derives from the Cross of Saint George which is the flag of England. The gold lion derives from the arms of England which is three gold lions pass ant uphold ant on a red field, and. Three gold stars of eight points represent the constellation of the Southern Cross. The Archdiocesan arms followed the basic design of the Colonial badge with a change of the tinctures and the removal of the lion by way of difference and with the ascription of diverse meanings to its elements. Again, the symbolism of the elements comprising the Archdiocesan arms is clear: The irritable retains its time honored reference to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The color blue in the field of the arms of the Archdiocese traditionally represents the Virgin.
