archbishops visit

On the weekend of 24/25 October, our parish  communities of St Paul's Coburg and St Oliver  Plunkett's Pascoe Vale were honoured to welcome  Archbishop Peter A. Comensoli for his Episcopal Pastoral Visit. A particularly meaningful part of the visit was the Archbishop's time spent with residents at Bupa Nursing Home in Coburg, as well as his  personal visits to housebound parishioners in their  homes. These encounters were a beautiful expression of the Church's pastoral mission, bringing comfort,  encouragement and a sense of connection to those who, through age or illness, are less able to participate in the wider life of the parish. The Archbishop took time to listen, share conversation and offer his presence and blessing, reminding everyone that they remain a valued and important part of our parish communities. His warm and approachable presence created many opportunities for meaningful conversation, fellowship and encouragement. We sincerely thank Archbishop Comensoli for his pastoral presence, kindness and encouragement, particularly towards our elderly and housebound parishioners. His visit was a timely reminder that our parish community extends beyond the church walls, and that caring for and remaining connected with one another is at the very heart of our Christian faith.
