A rare event for MSC Australia, a 60th birthday celebration, Alo Lamere MSC.
Last year the Province had three men turning 60. This year, just the one, Alo. And, sadly a few more years before the next one.
Alo is from Indonesia and worked there in formation. He then spent some years in Fiji. After coming to Australia, he participated in the Siloam, Spiritual Direction program at the Heart of Life Centre. He moved to Sydney as parish priest of Kensington, then parish priest of Blackburn and a term on the Provincial Council.
Saturday saw the parish celebration, a concelebrated Mass, MSC Melbourne community, parishioners, and many Indonesian friends and associates from Melbourne, and visitors from Fiji.
A packed church – and a packed school hall for a multicultural lunch. An enjoyable event for Alo and for us all.
