MSC Melbourne Gathering

We don’t often have a confrere’s 89^th birthday cake and candles – Michael Sims.

14^th March saw our first community gathering at Cuskelly House, Blackburn.

If you look closely you can pick us out – Community Leader, Dominic Gleeson, and with his pre-novitiate student, Samuel Joshua; Khoi and his novice, Long; at Cuskelly House, Trieu and Hoa and Mark Hanns; Brian Gallagher, Michael Sims, Peter Hendriks, and from Kew, Paul Castley, Philip Malone, Peter Malone. But we welcomed from Kensington Malcolm Fyfe who is there in the photos. Absent this time, Frank Andersen, Daniel Magadia, Alo Lamere, Chris McPhee. Ted McCormack at Monivae and Bartha (who visited during the week) at Moonah.

Officially announced, dates for Long’s first vows, May 30^th, Hoa’s final vows, May 31^st. And moving to Kensington, Philip Malone and Paul Castley. When renovations are completed on the Blackburn presbytery, Alo and Christ will move back there from Cuskelly House.
