There are currently 176 Brothers across the Province whose average age is 80.9 years. One of them, Br Gerard Brady CFC, Province Leader of the Christian Brothers - Oceania Province, is currently President of Catholic Religious Australia.

The Oceania Province of the Christian Brothers appears set to cease to exist after announcing it will be calling in creditors to facilitate the orderly distribution of its remaining property, funds and other assets. More info: https://t.co/tbcWdiKwad

Worth noting this will not affect Christian Brothers schools. They are owned by Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) which is an independent entity with its own board and governance.

Pope Leo XIV: "Yes, the Eastern Catholic Churches have a great gift to offer the entire Catholic community, which is often unaware of the diverse ecclesial traditions within its ranks."

Yet another bishop serving in Australia doing great things!

Archbishop Emil Nona (now Paul III Nona), formerly Archbishop of Saint Thomas the Apostle of Sydney, voted as Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church.

[Iraqi Christian Foundation @iraqschristians]

AMAZING NEWS: By the grace of our Lord, Archbishop Amel Nona (Chaldean Archbishop of Australia and New Zealand) has been elected as the new Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church.

Archbishop Nona is a strong leader, known for his commitment and dedication to serving God, our faith, and the Chaldean-Iraqi Christian community. We are very pleased with his election and look forward to his continued leadership of the Church. As the Patriarch of the Chaldean Church (the largest Christian Church in Iraq), he will become the de facto leader of the Christian community in Iraq.

May God bless him, guide him, and strengthen him in his service!🙏🏼✝️

Based on his age (57) and calibre, you’d have to think there’s a bigger appointment awaiting him in a few year’s time.

Bishop Rene Ramirez RCJ has been appointed Bishop of Sandhurst, in regional Victoria.

A truly great appointment for the people of Sandhurst. He’s served there as a parish priest but brings a wealth of academic and administrative experience from within the Rogationists.

@scout_aussie Surely Anthony Pavlešić in an option here. No first team football yet but consistently playing reserve level for Bayern Munich?

[William McInnes @william_mcinnes]

@scout_aussie @AustraliaFut Gotcha! Thanks 👌🏽

[William McInnes @william_mcinnes]

@scout_aussie @AustraliaFut How does this work given someone like a Harry Souttar received a call up before ever setting foot on Australian soil?

@FinancialReview An excellent appointment!

"The Church is dying because her pastors are afraid to speak in all truth and clarity. We are afraid of the media, afraid of public opinion, afraid of our own brethren! The good shepherd gives his life for his sheep."
