On 15 June I had the joy of celebrating the Feast Day of St Anthony and 60 years of faith, family and service with the St Anthony of Padua parish community in Austral. The day began with a beautiful mass led by Archbishop Anthony Fisher, followed by a fantastic community celebration filled with food stalls, music, rides and the kind of warm, welcoming atmosphere for which the parish has been known for many decades. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces coming together to honour such a meaningful milestone in the life of the church and the wider Austral community. I say a big congratulations to Father Ronnie and all the organisers and volunteers whose hard work made the day such a memorable success. St Anthony's continues to be a shining example of Austral's fabulous community spirit. Here's to another 60 years of faith, connection and celebration in the community.
