“A man had two sons …”
 
Which of the three characters in the parable am I?

Fr. Frank Moloney Writes to Rupertswood

E-mail Print PDF

Fr. Frank Moloney SDBDear Parents, Staff, Students and Friends of “Rupertswood”,

From time to time I return to a place very dear to me: Salesian College “Rupertswood”, the Mother House of the Salesian presence in Australia. I would like to thank your Principal, Fr Greg Chambers SDB, for giving me the opportunity to write to you through the Salesian College Newsletter.

Last year I spoke to all the staff at “Rupertswood” on Monday, 16 November. On that day I informed them that Fr Pascual Chavez, the Rector Major of the Salesians in the world, has appointed Fr Greg Chambers as the Vice Provincial of the Australia-Pacific Province. Consequently, after discussion with Fr Greg, Fr Peter Monaghan, the Rector, and my own Council, we have decided that Fr Greg will conclude his term as Principal at the end of the 2010 school year. We cannot thank him enough for his outstanding service to “Rupertswood”, during which time it has become one of the premier Catholic Colleges in Victoria.

E-mail Print PDF

Slovakian_concert_3In Bratislava on February 9 there was a charity concert for the people of Haiti with the slogan: “Haiti? You Too!“ The Salesians of Don Bosco were among the organisers.

The Concert for Haiti was aimed at awakening Slovakian people to the tragedy that befell the Caribbean country and also to enable them to express their solidarity and generosity by a financial contribution.

At the concert, broadcast by TV Lux, a Slovakian Catholic station, there were performances by many popular Slovakian singers, artists, and dancers who appeared free of charge. Among those who spoke during the concert, from their first-hand experience of being present in Haiti were Prof. Vladimír Kr?méry and reporter Andrej Bán.
