Our parish of Christ the Light was one of 4 parishes from across the Archdiocese invited to present four parish representatives to Most Reverend Peter A Comensoli at his Liturgical Reception and Solemn Mass on WEDNESDAY 1 August. The experience was described as being: ‘a great honour to represent all the people and parishes of the Northern Region of the Archdiocese. The liturgy was a wonderful affirmation of the unity and diversity of the Catholic faithful of Melbourne. The new Archbishop spoke with us briefly when we were presented to him and he came across as a warm and engaging person. In his homily he spoke about our shared role as missionary disciples which echoes the words of Pope Francis and has been taken up in our Parish Vision Statement. Overall it was a wonderful celebration’
