Myaree’s little miracle Small parish unveils brand new Church, revealing dynamic will to grow and be a centre for knowing God
Modern, but tranquil: Myaree parish’s new Pater Noster (Our Father) Church on Marmion Street. Parishioners have been waiting for 40 years for a church, having used a parish school building for most of the time. The dream of former parish priest, the late Fr Laurence Formosa was fulfilled when Archbishop Barry Hickey dedicated the Church and consecrated its altar on December 23, 2007. Full story page 6.
New nuncio for Australia ■ By Anthony Barich
Pope Benedict XVI has appointed Italian Archbishop Giuseppe Lazzarotto (pictured) as the new Apostolic Nuncio to Australia. The announcement was made shortly before Christmas after former Australian nuncio US-born Archbishop Ambrose De Paoli died on October 10 in Florida.
Judge sentences priest to pray
Archbishop Lazzarotto, 68, was ordained to the priesthood in 1967 and entered the Diplomatic Service of the Holy See in 1971 and has served in nunciatures throughout Africa, the European Community, Israel, Cyprus and in the Secretariat of State at the Vatican. In 1994 he was appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Iraq and Jordan before being appointed Nuncio to Ireland in 2000.
A double-parking priest who lacked the funds to pay a fine has been ordered to recite seven Psalms per day as punishment for traffic violations. Chilean priest Fr Jose Cornejo faced a 50,000 peso ($115.50 AUS) fine when he illegally parked in front of a school where he works in Puerto Montt in the south of Chile. Judge Manuel Perez had a different idea. “This is not a sentence that has just occurred to me,” he told the Chilean daily
La Tercera. “I did it as a tribute to Galileo Galilei, one of the greatest scientists of all time, who received a similar sentence from the Catholic Church during three years for saying the earth rotates around the sun. He will have to recite seven Psalms from a book in the Old Testament. The Priest will recite the seven Psalms every day for three months. On the judge’s orders a court official who lives near the priest will visit him daily to make sure the sentence is being carried out.
THE INCORRUPTIBLES
WE NEED QUIET
EVERYONE COUNTS
It’s an inexplicable phenomenon, but possibly a sign of things to come. Why is it that when some people die their bodies remain incorrupt - for centuries?
