Melbourne fraternity news

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

It gives us a great pleasure to briefly report on the actual situation of the Australian Melbourne Fraternity.

Until the end of 2006, there have been only three members, Father Sullivan, Kenny and Simon, present at our monthly meetings. From the first regular four members, one, Dominic Khanh Pham, has not been able to come, due to ill health. He had a stroke two years ago, but now, many thanks to God, he gets better and can enjoy a quite normal life.
On the 2006 Anniversary of Br Charles, we took part at a meeting, Holy Mass and meal at the home of the Little Sisters of Jesus and invited their friends to joiner our group. The happy result was that our 69th meeting of February 2007 was of great significance. After much striving and prayer we were able to bring into our fraternity three new members. Perhaps Brother Charles worked a miracle after his recent beatification. The three new members are Bob and Marlene Martin and Sister Gillian Ranasinghe. During this meeting, Simon, on behalf of the group, expressed our great joy and thank to God for answering our prayer. The meeting of the 30th of March also saw another in our mist, namely Deqhne Therese, now a making our membership to total of seven.

Thank you all for your prayer and support.

Kenny Fernando
On behalf of Melbourne Fraternity
