This year MSC Mision Office Australia celebrates 25 years Anniversary. The MSC Mission Office work of evangelization has touched the lives of thousands of people through the missionary efforts and presence of MSC missionaries, MSC sisters, and OLSH Sisters around the world. MSC Mission Office is the brainchild of MSC Australian Province.
It manifested under the leadership of late Fr. Adrian Meaney MSC who promoted the Theme of MSC MISSION OFFICE, "I Thirst," next to a crowned Jesus in agony. The picture and phrase speak to something deeper, to show that there are in this world people still in need of human touch, in need of experience of the love of God, and at least to us, provides the opportunity for transformation from ego to a more respectful and caring attitude towards others.
After Fr, Adrian died, Fr. Roger Purcell MSC replaced him. Both Fr. Roger and Fr. Adrian are ex-PNG MSC missionaries.
Many people in PNG are privileged to benefit both financially and materially through the continuous support of the MSC Mission Office since its establishment. The main objective is not about raising money. It is about raising awareness and encouraging a missionary spirit that appeals to every living Christian to love and care for humanity and realize that we are all children of God.
It is a privilege to witness this historical moment with all MSC representatives around the world who came for the celebration. The Eucharistic Celebration was at St. Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, in collaboration with the feast day of Blessed Peter ToRot.
The contingent from PNG, Sir John Cardinal Ribat MSC KBE was the principal celebrant for the mass and present also was Br. Chris Anton MSC, administrator of MSC Mission Office PNG. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus Be Loved Everywhere....Forever...
God Bless all!
