Today on the feast of St John Fisher, the community was blessed to receive the formal oblation of Ronan Reilly under the oblate name of Brother John Bede Mary. The triple patronage of our new oblate is Saint John Fisher, Saint Bede the Venerable and (the future saint, we hope) John Bede Polding, a great Benedictine who was the first Archbishop of Sydney. We wish him and his family all the best under the guidance of our holy Father St Benedict.
