Happy Boxing Day!
We hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day spent with family and friends, sharing good food, great company, and perhaps a drink or two.
Now, let’s take a look at some fun ways to spend Boxing Day together.
Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race
This is the signature Boxing Day event in Sydney — a major tradition and one of the world’s most famous ocean races. It starts at 1 pm in Sydney Harbour and draws huge crowds along the foreshore and thousands more on boats.
Box Office- Movies
Boxing Day is also a big day for new film releases and all cinemas
(Hoyts, Event, Palace etc.) are open.
Check out your local cinema.
Boxing Day Sales
Boxing Day is traditionally one of Australia’s biggest shopping days.
Zoo & Wildlife Attractions
Many of Sydney’s wildlife experiences remain open on Boxing Day:
Taronga Zoo (Mosman)
SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium
Great for families looking for something active but shaded/cool.
Cricket & Sports
While more traditionally associated with the Melbourne Cricket Ground, some Sydney venues and sports bars will broadcast major Boxing Day Test cricket matches — great if you’re into sport.

Tedenske Novice
Ta nedelja je svete družine. Pri sv. maši je ljudsko petje. Ob koncu sv. maše bomo zapeli zahvalno pesem za leto gospodovo 2025.
Ta nedelja škofje s slovesnimi bogoslužji sklepajo sveto leto po naših škofijah. V Rimu bo sklep svetega leta v torek, 6.1.2026.
V sredo je zadnji dan starega leta, God Sv. Silvestra, Papeža, ki je leta 325, pred 1.700 leti, potrdil koncil – cerkveni zbor v niceji. Na silvestrovo ne pozabimo na osebno in družinsko molitev, ker je 2. Sveti Večer.
Sv. maša bo ob 7.00 zvečer kot običajno.
V četrtek je novega leta dan, praznik Marije, božje in naše matere in svetovni dan miru. Srečanje molitvene skupine bo že ob 9.00 dopoldne in sv. maša ob 9.30 dopoldne.Ob 10.30 imajo sv. mašo melkiti.
V Wollongongu – Figtreeju na novo leto ne bo sv. maše! Sv. maša bo tam redno 2. nedeljo v mesecu, 11.1., ob 5.00 popoldne.
V kraljičini deželi – Queenslandu v božičnem času ne bomo imeli slovenske sv. maše, ker ste nekateri rojaki odsotni.
Čimprej obnovimo naročnino na misli, darujmo dar za Rafaela in dar v božičnih – Rafaelovih kuvertah. Bodimo velikodušni, saj s temi darovi krijemo zavarovanje naše cerkve, dvorane (public liability insurance) in še druge izdatke.
Naše glasilo Rafael praznuje prihodnje leto junija svojo 60-letnico – takrat je izšla prva številka. Ob tej obletnici bi radi izdali jubilejno številko Rafaela, zato vas vabim, da pripravimo prispevke, spomine, pričevanja in predloge.
