One very interesting fact about our Indonesian Scholasticate Community is the different clubs in the community that our confreres can join. These clubs include interests like foreign languages, music, mountaineering, and youth organization among many others. Kindly include this dynamic community in your prayers. Ametur!

Dear friends,
An invitation from Professor Joseph Camilleri
Peace
Claude Mostowik msc
I thought you may be interested in a new independent initiative a number of us (including many in their 20s and 30s) have been working on for the last several months. The idea is to bring together people from diverse backgrounds in a project specifically aimed at raising the level of the national conversation, and widening the circle of those willing and able to engage.
The aim is to stimulate conversations on the defining issues of our time, across the generational and cultural divides.
After a good deal of preparation and a number of in-house events, we are now preparing for a semi-public event to coincide with the UN International Day of Peace. This will be a prelude to our Public Launch which will be held on 5th November – more information about this will follow.
The World Peace Day event, will be held on Monday 21 September at 7.30 pm via Zoom. We have chosen as the theme for the evening Between War and Peace: Australia’s Past and Future. Our two guest speakers are the distinguished scholar Prof Allan Patience and national President, Medical Association for Prevention of War Dr Sue Wareham. They will offer us thought provoking ideas on new directions for the future. This will be a highly interactive evening. Please see attached flyer for full details.
I take this opportunity to invite you to take part. And please pass on the invitation to friends, colleagues and others in your respective networks.
Anyone wishing to attend must register by sending me their name and email address. It is advisable to register early as registratiundefinedons may close well before the event. Only those who register will be provided with the Zoom link to get access to the event.
I expect this to be a lively conversation, which we hope will encourage many to rethink Australia’s future.

Spiritual Leaders Program
1 Year Part-time (Feb-Nov 2021)
The transformative Spiritual Leaders Program is based on a contemplative and discerning approach to the spiritual formation of leaders within ministry.
Individuals in various positions of leadership within their faith community or outreach ministries - priests, ministers, members of religious Orders, lay ecclesial ministers, community and spiritual leaders, chaplains, pastoral carers and those in health and education - will especially find the program of benefit and are invited to apply.
The Spiritual Leaders learning process supports the participant's personal integration of the theory and practice of a contemplative and discerning approach to the spiritual and pastoral elements of leadership. The program is contemplative and experiential in its approach and enables participants to focus on growth in self-awareness and sensitivity to the movement of God's Spirit in oneself, as well as in the person to whom one is ministering.
Spiritual Leaders is offered over one year, part-time. Attendance is generally on Friday mornings (9.30am-12.30pm) plus monthly individual supervision on Friday afternoons. Spiritual Leaders can be credited for 36 points toward the Diploma in Theology, Bachelor of Theology or Bachelor of Ministry through Yarra Theological Union / University of Divinity. Fee-Help is available to qualifying students when studying for these awards.
A recent graduate of the program writes:
"As I embarked on the journey of learning about spiritual leadership, the year brought new opportunities, rewarding challenges and personal growth. The course was like finding a treasure in a field, whilst discovering treasures within me. It has been a journey of getting to know myself and the deepest parts of who I truly am. This has led me to desire a freedom to become more of who God has called and created me to be. I experienced a richness of God's compassion for me and for those I care for and support in my ministry as a spiritual leader. I am now left with my heart seeking to find more hidden treasures within and a longing to help others discover the treasure they are in God. It was a great blessing for me to have had the opportunity to learn and grow through the Spiritual Leaders Program. I am truly grateful for all that I learnt from those gifted in teaching the course and from my fellow spiritual leaders." - Nicky, VIC
'Let The Heart Listen' Program
(Carole Carmody rsm, Julie Adam)
15 x Thursday mornings, 9.30am-12.30pm,
25 February to 17 June 2021
'Let the Heart Listen' is an invitation to:
- enter into a process of transformation, connecting you with the deeper mysteries of your own heart
- open your heart in compassion for, and connection to and with others
- deepen your relationship with your Divine Companion, especially in the vulnerable aspects of your life.
Those involved in listening to, and supporting others, in life's journey and those who wish to deepen a relationship with their Divine Companion are invited to apply.
This program's learning process provides: teaching; facilitated work in groups and alone; guided reflection; and self and peer feedback and evaluation.
A recent graduate of the program writes:
"I was unsure what to expect when I signed up for Let the Heart Listen. I am not one to speak openly about my spiritual life with others and was hesitant to share what was deep in my heart. Over the sessions, with the gentle directions and support of the group, I was able to open up to what was truly deep in my heart and learn to listen to the heart of others. Over the weeks, there was a discovery of many joys and also sorrows that were deep in my heart and although the course has ended, it really is only the beginning of my journey." Melissa, VIC

MSC Adelaide: “In the service of the evangelizing mission of the Church”
MSC Adelaide: “In the service of the evangelizing mission of the Church”
Celebrating the MSC Legacy in the Adelaide Archdiocese
September 21st to 25th
During September we will celebrate the anniversaries of the death of both Fr. Frank Perry and Fr. John Rate and their legacy as MSC. They continued the contribution of the MSC community to the life of the church in Adelaide and they died within a year of each other in September 2018 and 2019. The parish of Henley is privileged to recall their ministry, with many of their brother MSC, as they sought to bringing the “heart of Jesus” to the lives of those they served. A week of reflection and sharing is planned each night for 5 nights. Special guests have been invited to talk on different aspects of this call and help us to understand the commitment of parishioners to be “missionary disciples”.
The Program of Refection will begin on Monday the 21st of September and conclude on Friday the 25th and include a memorial mass on the 22nd the date of Fr John’s anniversary.
In July 2020, Pope Francis reflected on the importance of adapting the style and management of parish life and recommended the document The Parish Community in the service of the evangelizing mission of the Church. From the beginning of his service as pope, Francis focused directly on the “parish” by emphasising “making church life relevant for today’s world”. His first Apostolic Exhortation The Joy of the Gospel (2013) in everyday language called all parishioners to be “missionary disciples”. It is a challenge to the laity, the religious and the priests and deacons to discern their roles in reaching out to those in need, humanly and spiritually.
From time to time this has been open to trial and error as it raised key issues: the changing role of priests and the laity emerging as “missionary disciples” and the impact and influence this would have on parish life. In the parishes that the MSC have served for over 106 years here in Adelaide, there has been growing awareness and discernment of what is required for change, based on their charism “To be on earth the Heart of God”. It is in this context that we reflect on parish life today as a tribute to Frs John and Frank.
On behalf of the MSC Community and the Parish Pastoral Council we look forward to your presence.
Paul Cashen MSC PP
Community Leader

7pm Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church,
Henley Beach Parish
Jules Chevalier was very clear in his vision for lay people “To be on Earth the Heart of God”.
Both Jules Chevalier and Pope Francis advocated an active and contributing laity.
Jules Chevalier saw the Sacred Heart as the gateway to understanding Jesus and the gospels.
Pope Francis stated that, “the lay faithful may fulfil their specific mission, the mission that they received in Baptism, putting their creativity at the service of the challenges of today’s world.” (Prayer video 3 May 2019)
Monday 21st: Fr Philip Marshall VG
“From Ministers to Missionaries”: A presentation of the changes that the pope calls for in the life of parishes in the context of the Adelaide parishes. The task of discerning who, how, when, where and why in our response to the Spirit, includes reflecting on the experiences of the church as we have responded to the Vatican II.
Tuesday 22nd: Memorial Mass: Archbishop Patrick O’Regan, principal celebrant
Due to COVID restrictions on numbers in the Church, we will not open this mass for registrations. Each parish group will be represented at the mass and if space are available, we will then open the mass for first in registrations. Invitations to the representatives will be sent this week.
Wednesday 23rd: Fr Michael Trainor scripture lecturer ACU
“The Word of God and the call to mission”: Listening and reflecting on the Word of God, sacred scripture: to open our hearts to the struggles of the people around us and to reach out to the vulnerable, as Jesus’ ministry teaches us.
Thursday 24th: Mrs Margaret Speechley Director Ministry Formation
“Discerning to be a missionary today”: Key people guide us to respond to the call to be disciples and deepen our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Ministry Formation Program brings experience, insight and motivation to assist the parish community to bring the care and love of God to the many struggles and concerns of people today.
Friday 25th: Fr Chris Chaplin MSC, Director Ministry Formation, Rome.
“To be on earth the heart of God”: The final reflection is to explore the charism of the MSC and the continued encouragement it gives us to search for the “Heart of the Sacred”, in the confused and challenging context of life today. We are all called “to be on earth the heart of God”.
Vale John Fahey, Chevalier College tribute
Vale Hon JOHN JOSEPH FAHEY AC
12th September 2020
This is the tribute from Chevalier College's Shield and Heart. Chevalier College and its community mourn the passing today of one of its most outstanding alumni John Fahey AC, a member of the Class of 1962.
John Fahey was elected to the NSW Parliament in 1984 and rose to become a minister and then Premier from 1992-1995. During that time, aside from the reforms and governance work of the day, John also became etched in the public memory for his courageous act of leaping to thwart what appeared to be a would-be assassination of Prince Charles by a man wielding a gun and then later famously leaping for joy in Monaco when Sydney was awarded the 2000 Olympics. Following the defeat in the close State election in 1995, he was then elected to the Federal Parliament in 1996 and immediately appointed to a cabinet role as Minister for Finance and Administration, a role he held for six years until his retirement from politics. Since his retirement from politics, John maintained some corporate advisory work and many other involvements but then also took on the major role as the President of the World AntiDoping Agency from 2008-13. He has been the Chancellor of the Australian Catholic University since 2014. Last year he was awarded the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St. Gregory the Great in recognition of his service to the Catholic Church in Australia.
Helping with fete preparations in the 1990s.
College Board Chairman Matthew Waugh, from the Class of 1961, was himself a contemporary of John Fahey and has remained friends in the years since graduating. “John Fahey represented many of the best attributes of a Chevalier student and ranks most highly in regard among our alumni for those reasons. We offer our heartfelt condolences to his wife Colleen and his children, grandchildren and extended family. The sadness of John’s loss will also be felt by his classmates and many in the wider community.”
At the Chevalier Golden Jubilee with daughter, Tiffany, and Bob Irwin MSC
John Fahey’s children Matthew (CPS 1987), Melanie (CPS 1990) and Tiffany (CPS 1996) also all attended Chevalier College.
College Principal Chris McDermott said “John remained a champion for Chevalier all his life and was looked up to by many across all generations of past students and also by our present-day community. In 2016 he was awarded the Esprit du Chevalier Medal, the College’s highest public honour, which translates from the French as “Spirit of the Knight”. The outstanding career of public service that John devoted to his region, state, country and indeed to the world, is testimony to that award. Chevalier College will remember John in our thoughts and prayers over the coming days and will work with his family, friends, classmates and colleagues to find a suitable occasion in the future to bring the community together for a fitting memorial service”.
President of the Chevalier Past Students association Mark Wallace (CPS 1976) said “The passing of John Fahey at the age of 75 is poignant as in under six months we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the college that he loved so much and which he himself said many times played such a big part in the formation of his character. That was also a wonderful formative era for Chevalier itself, and to see many of that generation leaving us now is a source of sadness.
John was a leader at the school, not only was he captain of the First XI cricket team and a vital member of arguably the greatest First XV rugby team that has ever taken the field for Chevalier, but he was also a student leader in the Young Catholic Society.
He is remembered outside the school too, as it is part of local folklore at HarbisonCare, the aged cared facility down the road from Chevalier, that John Fahey used to come down as a schoolboy in the 1950s and chop firewood for the elderly residents during winter as an act of kindness.”
Presentation to Dave Merrick MSC
His contemporary Matt Waugh concluded that John Fahey, like almost all the students of that time, also held great admiration for the then College Rector Fr Tyson Doneley OAM. “In many ways John lived up to ideals that we saw in Fr Doneley. Not only did John excel in sport like Fr Doneley, but he went on in public life to show the same quiet unassuming leadership that emphasised character, courage, and devotion in service to the community. Both men lived up to the College’s Latin motto – Fortes in Fide or 'Strong in Faith' " said Mr Waugh.

Melbourne, 13th September - your sympathy.
For the millions of us living in Melbourne, 13th September was to be our day of hope, a day of lifting coronavirus restrictions. It is not to be – the hopeful day has been postponed for at least a fortnight. (The daily infection rate is going down and we hope it will continue to do so.)
Except for a few weeks in June-July, Melbourne has been living in Stage 3 and for almost two months in Stage 4 lockdown – no visits or visiting, 5 kms limit to travel from home, some time for daily exercise, curfew.
We are 13 MSC living in Melbourne,
At Blackburn, Formation at Cuskelly House, Khoi, Vincent and Anh, at 71 Central Rd, a rather enclosed pre-novitiate year.

Ted McCormack is at Monivae, but it seems country Victoria may soon have lifted restrictions.
Des Holm and Krish Mathvan are in Launceston and Hobart, free movement within Tasmania but the borders are closed.
(Perhaps a little envy of MSC and more freedoms in NSW, SA and NT!)

And a good news story: Chevalier Hostel, an event from 2017 and a tribute.
‘A Place I Call Home’
Good old memories kept flooding back when lawyer Vinay Sharma returned to Chevalier Hostel in Suva
“This is where it all began for me – where I discovered the real meaning of love and compassion. It’s a place I call home,” he said.
Chevalier is run by the Catholic Church’s Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC).
The training centre and the hostel accommodate boys who come from under-privileged families.
When his mother died, the Social Welfare placed him at the hostel.
He thanked the MSC for accommodating, and financially supporting him during his time of need.
“I’m the eldest of the four siblings and the life that we were brought up in was not easy,” he said.
He said that he was lucky that the Chevalier Youth Trust board accepted him in 1999 when he was a Year 9 student at Marist Brothers High School, before completing his degree in Law and Psychology at the University of the South Pacific in 2009.
“I had spent 10 years in the hostel.”
He was lucky because Chevalier Hostel existed for boys and youths who came out from a broken family.
“I stayed in the hostel without paying anything,” he said.
He said all his basic needs were all provided for by the board that looks after the hostel.
After completing Year 13 at MBHS, he was shocked when the Chevalier board, informed him of the man who was going to sponsor and pay for his tertiary fees at USP.
He said his sponsor was one of the board members of the Chevalier Youth Trust board.
“He was a businessman who supported me until I graduated from USP.”
He said hostel life was fun and the boys lived like a close-knit family.
“Today even though I have a happy family with a daughter, I keep coming back to visit the hostel and attend every activity organised by the MSC.
“I am now earning a living and I will never forget my MSC family.
“The MSC brothers, priests, and all those who were around the hostel always cared and loved us, and they treated us equally.
“And I acknowledge them for their kind heart. I would not have gone this far without the support of the MSC family.”

Recently, Tim Brennan MSC, stationed at the General House in Rome, working for Professional Standards through the congregation, sent some photos of his wandering around the area where our former international Student House was located. We were there from the late 1940s to the mid-1970s.
Since the mid-1970s, the MSC have rented it to St Stephen’s School. For further information on St Stephen’s School scroll down to read their Wikipedia entry.
San Saba sanctuary
The house was in the Jesuit-run parish of San Saba. Just up the street was the Polish College (where John Paul II stayed during the sessions of Vatican II).
For the record, here is the list of names of those who studied, especially at the Gregorian and Angelicum Universities. Each of these men contributed to the Formation/Theological Ministry of the Province, teaching at Croydon, Canberra (some at both), St Paul’s National Seminary and many at the Yarra Theological Union.
Amongst them have been a Superior General, later a Bishop, a Provincial, 4 Rectors of St Paul’s, Academic Dean at YTU, world expert on Diakonia, the founder and all subsequent editors of Compass, the editor of Nelen Yubu, and the writing of a number of books between them. They were mainly pursuing Theology but there were some specialists in Scripture, Canon Law and Moral Theology, Church History, Liturgy and Philosophy. Peter Malone, Barry Brundell and John Bosman were ordained in the chapel.

Here is the Wikipedia description of St Stephen’s School.
St. Stephen's International School is a co-educational, non-denominational, boarding and day school, enrolling students from ages 14-19 in grades 9-12 and or for a postgraduate year. It is located on the Via Aventina in Rome, Italy, near the Circus Maximus, Forum, and Colosseum.
The total number of students per year for all four grades is approximately 250, and the student to teacher ratio is 12:1. The school is home to about 40 students, who board on campus for 9 months of the year. The boarding students come from around the world, and spend holidays and summers away from the school. A small number of boarders come from the United States to complete either a semester or year abroad. There are about 210 international day students who live with their families in Rome. Many of them have parents who work for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) or other international organizations.
Founded in 1964 by Dr. John O. Patterson, former Headmaster of the Kent School in Connecticut, St. Stephen's provides a liberal arts education. The school is modeled on the American independent school tradition, and offers six major academic areas: English, foreign language, history, mathematics and computer studies, experimental science, and the arts.
Primary objectives are academic excellence, fellowship and cooperation among students and faculty, and the development of students as independent, responsible, and involved members of the larger world community. The curriculum prepares students for an American high school diploma, including a variety of Advanced Placement subjects, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) which allows students to enter universities worldwide.
Fr Leo Wearden MSC celebrates 40 Years as a Priest
Fr Leo Wearden MSC celebrates 40 Years as a Priest
This is a feature from Sandpiper e-News from the Sandhurst diocese – Leo is clearly a son of Sandhurst.
Fr Leo received all his Sacraments in the Sandhurst Diocese and attended school at St Patrick’s Primary School in Tongala, St Augustine’s College in Kyabram, and Salesian College in Rupertswood, which is now known as Salesian College Sunbury before commencing his training to become a priest with the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.
Fr Leo is currently serving as Parish Priest in the remote parish of Wadeye in the Northern Territory, a position he took up in 2005 having cut short his sabbatical study to fill the vacancy. Wadeye, is one of Australia's largest remote Indigenous communities, located approximately 420 km south west of Darwin. It is accessed by unsealed road during the dry season and by light aircraft or barge during the wet season.
1980
Over the past forty years, Fr Leo has served in the Tiwi Islands, Papua New Guinea and East Timor, places in which he retains a strong interest.
He is a member of Diocesan College of Priests and plays a significant role on the Diocesan Aboriginal Council. In addition to these roles, he is on the Provincial Council for the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart Congregation [MSC] in Australia and is the Religious Superior for the MSCs in the Northern Territory.
In 1999, Fr Leo was presented with the Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal (HOSM) by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference for his service in East Timor, amidst intensely difficult and dangerous conditions.
The Bishop of Darwin, the Most Rev. Charles Gauci congratulated Fr Leo on the 40th anniversary of his ordination and thanked him for responding to the call to serve God’s people through the ministerial priesthood.
Fr Leo was also congratulated by many of those he has worked with over the past four decades, and was thanked for the extraordinary contribution he has made to the lives of so many people.
Fr Leo enjoys returning to the Sandhurst area to visit his many friends and family, including his 93-year-old mother Marie Wearden who resides in Kyabram
Congratulations: Thoi Tran MSC, celebrating Silver Jubilee of Ordination
Congratulations: Thoi Tran MSC, celebrating Silver Jubilee of Ordination.
Today is the Silver Jubilee of Ordination for Fr Thoi Tran.
He made his first profession on June 22nd 1991 at St Mary’s Towers, Douglas Park, and continued his studies at St Paul’s National Seminary, part of the community of Navarre House, Drummoyne.
After ordination, he worked in Randwick parish and then went to Boston for further studies.
Thoi has contributed most significantly to the Province, for his part in establishing the MSC presence in Vietnam – and his long service there as community leader and formation director.
The Vietnam community celebrated the Jubilee with the Feast of the Sacred Heart earlier this year. Our photos for this post are from that celebration.
