Last week the seminarians of Vianney College had the joy of being able to meet with Bishop Richard Umbers, auxiliary bishop of Sydney, as part of his visit to the Diocese of Wagga Wagga. Bishop Umbers had a lively discussion with them about his vocation story, his role as an auxiliary bishop, and the upcoming Eucharistic Congress. He spoke about his desire to foster a “culture of processions” in Australia, noting how the beauty, music and communal aspects of Eucharistic processions can be means evangelisation and witness of the Catholic faith to the world.
