ANNUAL MELBOURNE PRIESTS’ CONFERENCE

The Archbishop requested all his priests to gather at Geelong last week for a four-day residential conference on the theme ‘the Person of the Priest’.  Our keynote speaker was Fr. Tim Costello, a New Zealand Marist Father.  After many years working with seminarians and religious in formation, he is now a lecturer in Rome where he teaches in the Institute of Psychology.  He gave us six presentations of about an hour each.  We did group work as well among 105 of our confreres.  Fr Martin Ashe and his committee organised the conference.
