Our special guest speaker for the night is Bishop Tim Costelloe SDB, Auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne and Episcopal Vicar for Tertiary Education. After completing his theological studies, he was ordained to the priesthood at St Peter’s Church, East Bentleigh, on 25 October 1986, by Archbishop T. F. Little.
He has previously taught Systematic Theology at the University of Notre Dame in Western Australia and at Murdoch University. Currently, he teaches at the Catholic Theological College here in Melbourne and is Auxiliary Bishop for the Northen Region of the Archdiocese.
On the rare occasion he has a day off, the bishop enjoys sipping a cappuccino and re-reads (!) his Lord of the Rings book collection!

Vale Father Brian Bainbridge who was ordained for the Church of Melbourne in 1966 and was currently parish priest of Bennettswood. About ten years ago, Fr Brian facilitated the discernment process when our parish was examining where to build the Parish Centre and Offices. Last November, we were both on a priests’ retreat and I congratulated him on the good process and the fine result we now enjoy. He died in his sleep last Tuesday at his Presbytery. When he did not appear at Mass on Tuesday he was found to have entered eternal life…… Fr Kevin
