FROM THE ARCHIVES: A Human Formation (Living Tableau) of a Chalice in Bathurst (1930)

In the archives of our Diocese lies a remarkable photograph that captures a powerful expression of faith and community.

As part of the Centenary celebrations marking the first recorded Catholic Mass in the Bathurst district in 1830, large numbers of students from St Patrick's College and St Mary's College gathered to form the image of a Chalice and Host. Viewed from above, the scene became a striking symbol of the Eucharist and the faith that had taken root in the region over the previous century.

In an era long before digital photography, such a formation required careful planning, patience, and a shared sense of purpose. A coordinator can be seen standing on a raised platform directing and choreographing the students as they created this memorable tribute. Devotional tableau vivants or "living pictures" were popular during Eucharistic and Centenary celebrations in this era.

This image is more than just a historical curiosity; it is a visual reminder of the deep roots of our faith in the Bathurst region.

We invite everyone to reflect on this piece of our diocesan history and pray for those who walked before us in faith.
