Australia Sri Lanka Catholic Association We're a family united for Catholic unity, fostering community togetherness in faith. A family day was organized under the guidance of the Rev Fr.

The ASLCA was formed on the 20th July 2003 in Melbourne, under the auspices of the Rev. Sisters residing in Geelong, along with a few Sri Lankan Catholics living in and around Melbourne. Sextus Kurukulasuria who was visiting Melbourne in 2005 to spiritually revitalize the Association. The purpose for a Sri Lankan Catholic Association in Melbourne was primarily to provide an opportunity to particip

ate in Holy Mass, Confession, Weddings, Funerals and Baptisms in the mother tongue. It is common knowledge that opportunities are abound in Melbourne to follow Holy Mass in English; likewise there were priests from Sri Lanka, India and Malaysia to carry out religious observations in Tamil. However, especially the Sinhalese from the older generation who were not used to the Western style of veneration were deprived of following religious observations in their own language. Therefore, attention was given to obtain the services of a Catholic priest from Sri Lanka. Under the guidance of the Archbishop and the Vicar General, The Interim committee succeeded in forming and registering the Association. The membership of the ASLCA was made open to all Sri Lankan Catholics, Sinhalese, Tamils and Burghers, domiciled in Melbourne. The Association successfully obtained the concurrence of the Vicar General on its constitution and on the structure of the Executive Committee and the membership. Rev Sister Anastine was elected as the First President of the Association.

The Stations of the Cross and Holy Mass, organised by ASLCA in coordination with Werribee Sunday School, was held on Sunday, 22nd March at Ta’ Pinu Shrine, Bacchus Marsh.

It was a truly meaningful event, brought to life through the great efforts of the Sunday School parents and children, who beautifully portrayed the Passion of Jesus Christ.

Special thanks to Sr. Carmel, Shiran, and Imara for their initiative and dedication. We also extend our gratitude to all the parents and children for their acting, as well as the backstage and technical teams for their hard work especially in arranging the live streaming to the church and online for those who were unable to attend physicaly.

Well done to everyone involved!
