Busy start for Adelaide’s newest international priest

Arriving in Adelaide in the middle of the busy Advent season, new international priest Fr Santhosh Nazareth CSC didn’t take long to find his feet.

Historic celebration for Konkan community

About 150 members of Adelaide’s Konkan community were overjoyed to come together recently to celebrate the first Mass held in their native language.

Young Indian worshippers received a blessing at the end of the recent feast of St Thomas Mass. Pictured with Fr Adimai (third from left) and Fr Joseph Wala Raja are, from left, front – Abbigail, Carissa and Edel; back – Rachael, Pooja, Jadsiya and Bianca.

Growing Indian community celebrates

The feast of St Thomas the Apostle was cause for double celebration last month following the appointment of Father Anthoni Adimai SdM as the first Indian priest to take on the role of administrator of the Adelaide Cathedral parish.

Warm welcome for international priests

Despite trying to cope with the cold temperatures of an Adelaide winter, the Archdiocese’s newest international priests say they have been overwhelmed by the “warm welcome” they have received.
