Some of the Highlights in the Magazine: From the Office of Justice, Ecology & Peace Visit in Support of Clergy |
KCP Magazine Visit in Support of Clergy "Like everyone else in the Church, priests are called to be people of faith. To be called by Christ, and to try to follow him, is the most exciting game in town". That is how Fr Peter Brock sees the ordained ministry of bishops, priests and deacons. Fr Brock visited the Kimberley recently. He is the Executive Officer of the National Commission for Clergy Life and Ministry. Based in Canberra, he visits every diocese in Australia every year. \While in Broome he met with Bishop Saunders to discuss issues concerning the life of the clergy of the diocese. "These include the ongoing spiritual and personal formation of clergy. Other concerns range from the support of recently ordained priests in their early pastoral placements to the preparation for gracious retirement by the senior priests. Young priests born overseas often need special support, as do priests moving between rural and suburban parishes", Fr Brock said. Fr Brock spent a few days at Bidyadanga with Fr Patrick de Silva, the Diocesan Director of Clergy Life and Ministry. He also met the priests in Kununurra, Halls Creek, Balgo and Broome.
