With overflowing joy on the feast of Our Lady’s Nativity, Br Bede Mary was ordained a deacon in St Patrick’s Church Colebrook by Bishop Geoffrey Jarrett, bishop emeritus of Lismore, with Archbishop Julian Porteous of Hobart presiding the ceremony from the throne. It was a wonderful day for our community, and we express our gratitude to His Grace, to His Lordship, to the many priests and faithful who joined us for the event. Our congratulations to Br Bede’s parents, Sam and Deb Cannavo from Adelaide.
