On the 17th-18th of October, the Australian Province of St. Paul the First Hermit had its provincial chapter, which elected the new provincial chapter. We congratulate Fr. Albert on being elected provincial and the new council members. We also thank Fr. Jarek for his years of service as provincial.
Congratulations to Br. Joseph Maria on his Ordination to the Deaconate celebrated on the 26th of August, Solemnity of the Black Madonna, at the Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy – Penrose Park. We pray to the Lord to grant him an abundance of grace in his future ministry.
The Province would like to congratulate Br. Joseph Maria Buckley OSPPE on professing his Solemn Vows, at Marian Valley – Shrine of Our Lady Help of Christians on the 5th of August.
Solemn Profession makes one a full member of the Order and entitles one to the white mantle of the order. This mantle is worn for solemn occasions in choir, in processions and for solemn gatherings.
Today, the 21st of April 2017, the Australian Province celebrated the 25th anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood of Fr Gabriel Taylor. We wish to express our thanks for all the work, time, talents and joys that Fr Gabriel has shared with us over the years. We want to thank God for the priestly ministry of Fr Gabriel.
In 2012, Fr Gabriel talked about finding his home and vocation in the priesthood. We have made this video available on YouTube to celebrate his 25th priestly ordination. It is a fragment of the film called “Call of Our Lady,” about the Pauline Fathers in Australia.
