Today, on the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, our seminary community was welcomed by Fr Arulraj and St Cecilia Parish Community, Floreat. We were so happy to celebrate the Eucharist with the parish community and meet all the fathers, grandfathers and father figures on this Father's Day.

Happy Father's Day, to all our fathers and father figures of our lives. St. Joseph, pray for our fathers. May the Lord bless with strength, wisdom, courage and health to our fathers who are still with us here and eternal rest, joy everlasting and perpetual light to our fathers who are in His presence.

Today is the last day of Vocations Awareness Week and St Charles' seminarians joined the clergy of the Archdiocese and youth from Catholic Youth Ministry Perth for Sports Day playing futsal, volleyball and pickleball. And of the two teams, red and green representing our community, our green team won the first place beating the last year's champions, the clergy team 🥲.

CONGRATULATIONS to our green team members who returned victorious ( Tuan, Paul, Tho, Phong, James and Lam) and our red team members who fought the valiant fight (Matthew, Rhys, Vivek, Innocent, Joachim and Dominic).
