Up, up and away!

Nearly forty pilgrims left Australia today for the commencement of the 2012 Champagnat Pilgrimage. Pilgrims flew from Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide Airports and will assemble in Singapore this evening prior to their flight together to London and then on to Paris tomorrow morning.  All seem to be looking forward to sharing their experiences together and to gaining a deeper insight into the spirituality and mission of Marcellin Champagnat.  We wish them bon voyage!

Learning about Africa


Br Rod Thomson has pointed us to this very valuable presentation about the importance of understanding context when we meet a new people.  The video takes about 18 minutes and will help us prepare for our time away, particularly our time in Africa.  The video can be viewed here: Learning about Africa
