Salvatorians

To conclude our reflections on the life, apostlic zeal and charism of our Founder during the Year of Fr Jordan we have gathered on the 19th of June 2009 for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist in St Anthony's Church in Greenmount, Western Australia.

From Monday 15th of June till Friday 19th of June Salvatorian Community in Australia, under the guidance of Fr Franciszek Jadamus SDS, gathered on our annual retreat in St John of God Retreat Centre, Shoalwater, Western Australia. Fr Franciszek shared with us his priestly and pastoral experiences from his 40 years of priesthood.

Pope Benedict XVI is proclaiming a Year for Priests on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of St Jean Marie Vianney. It will be a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the call and mission of priests and to pray for the holiness of priests and for the vocation to priesthood and religious life. Maybe dedicate one day a month to this special prayer?

We welcome in Australia Fr Franciszek Jadamus SDS who came to lead our Salvatorian annual retreat. On the 14th of June 2009 he celebrated his 40 anniversary of priesthood in St Anthony's Church in Greenmount.

On the 30 May 2009 eleven Salvatorians from our Major Seminary in Bagno, Poland received their priestly ordination from the hands of His Grace Bp Tadeusz Ploski. Five of them, who were deacons became priest (presbyters), and six seminarians became deacons. The ordination took place in the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Trzebinia, Poland.
