The day after Super Thursday .....

Things returned to some sense of normality for us all at Mount Street after the excitement of the visit of the Holy Father. Groups started arriving early, and there was a steady stream throughout the day – right through till 8pm – although we had a group of about 100 for the evening vigil at 9pm.



Here the Lismore group arrives early – with Fr. Slack – sorry Father Slack, they tell me its only in name and not in nature.





Chi brought her friends to visit ‘headquarters’. Chi received the Mary MacKillop Award in her last year of College at Penola in Broadmeadows, Victoria.

Julie came with her two friends – she turns 24 next Tuesday and was also very excited about her visit to the Mary MacKillop Chapel.

Always a friendly face welcomed the volunteers at Registration. Great to have Kate O’Connor at the desk today.




Some Swan Hill friends spotted Rita in the Chapel – it’s a small world.
The Epping Parish were waiting for Mass to begin at 1pm with the Vietnamese visiting group.

A unique experience for Rita was translating for a Polish group – lucky the one common language amongst the eight people was Italian.

And to finish the day – coffee with friends who came for the Evening Vigil – good to see the Alphington group.
