Glenelg school farewells two special buddies

Graduating from primary school is a milestone in the life of any child but it was especially significant for St Mary’s Memorial School Year 6 student Enzo Cornejo.

Timorese priest Fr Graciano Santos Barros met Glenelg parishioner Peter Hurley during his recent visit to Adelaide. Coincidentally, another parishioner, Charlie Byrnes, stopped by and explained that he had been in the peacekeeping force in Timor-Leste in 2000 and wanted to make a donation to the Church in Dili. Above, from left, Mr Brynes, Fr Graciano, Mr Hurley and Fr John Herd.

Timor-Leste friendship strengthened

The close connection between Timor-Leste and Australia was evident last month when the Vicar General of the Dili Archdiocese, Fr Graciano Santos Barros, visited Adelaide.

Cannonball decision the will of God

Jesuit priest Fr Thang Bui recently spent six weeks in the Glenelg parish running an Ignatian spirituality retreat and supporting parish priest Fr John Herd as part of his tertianship.
