Joy to serve in country parishes

Born and raised in the city, Fr Peter Milburn spent many years as a parish priest in the country – times that he remembered fondly in the lead up to his 60th anniversary celebrations next month.

Barefoot and dancing with creation

As Catholics around the world celebrate the Season of Creation this month, Willunga priest-in-residence Fr Tom Gleeson talks about how his faith is so strongly connected with the natural world.

Extending warm welcome to seasonal workers

Parishes around the Archdiocese are being encouraged to reach out, connect and extend a hand of welcome to the hundreds of seasonal workers from the Pacific Islands who are currently working in the State.

Prayers, support for bushfire victims

South Australian Catholics are being asked to pray for those affected by the current bushfire disaster and to consider contributing to a fundraising appeal established by the St Vincent de Paul Society.

End of an era for Willunga cemetery

Helping people choose a grave site, liaising with the funeral director and grave digger and recording burial details might sound morose but not to David Manders who has been doing just that for 30 years as curator of St Joseph’s Cemetery at Willunga.
