Beloved is a newly developed digital publication that contains short daily reflections from the beginning of Advent (29 November 2015) through to the Baptism of the Lord (10 January 2016). Beloved is an ideal companion for personal reflection, but is also appropriate for group use within your parish, religious community and school staff/class prayer.

Continuing the tradition from past years and tying in with the beginning of the Popes Jubilee Year of Mercy, these spiritually rich, yet accessible, daily reflections have been written and narrated by six contributors from the Diocese of Wollongong:

Fr Stephen Varney - Assistant Priest, Lumen Christi Catholic Parishes, Wollongong
Trish McCarthy - Faith Education Officer, Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Wollongong
Deacon Michael Dyer - Deacon, Lumen Christi Catholic Parishes, Wollongong
Sr Anne Marie Joyce OSC - Poor Clares of Bethlehem Monastery, Campbelltown
Fr Patrick Faherty PP VG - Vicar General and Parish Priest St Michael’s Parish, Nowra
Sr Hilda Scott OSB - Benedictine Abbey, Jamberoo

Beloved also features beautiful religious artworks from our rich Catholic history with enlightening “artwork spotlight” descriptions written and narrated by Fr Graham Schmitzer PP (Parish Priest, Immaculate Conception Parish, Unanderra).

Bonus: Included in Beloved is the text for the four Sunday psalms for Advent beautifully put to music by Tracey Coombes.
