With much excitement and success, we held our Annual Gathering of the De Mazenod Family on 7 August 2021. This is the third such Gathering that has been held, with the first meeting held physically in Fremantle in 2019, with different representatives from the various Oblate ministries across Australia.

Fr Ian Mackintosh OMI, RIP
Affectionately known as “The Bear”, Fr Ian was passionate about the Oblates and the Church, prepared his sermons in great detail, loyal and steadfast. He saw the best in people, was kind, and responded to needs.
We thank God for Fr Ian’s faithful service to the Australia Province and Church for over 55 years.

De Mazenod Family Gathering 2.0
On Sunday 29th November members from the De Mazenod Family all around Australia logged in for the De Mazenod Family Gathering 2.0. We had around 100 people gathered with most connected as individuals, plus a small number who connected in Parishes as a community. De Mazenod Family Gathering 2.0 was an opportunity for us to introduce our team, and be able to “see” them, given that COVID-19 stopped us from meeting in person.
Fr Daniel Szewc OMI. Doctor of Theology. University of Divinity, 2020
Congratulations to Fr Daniel Szewc who graduated in very ‘low key’ circumstances at the Adelaide ceremony this December rather than wait for the Melbourne graduation, usually early in the first semester. Fr Daniel paid gracious tributes to the University and its ecumenical ethos, his local campus (Catholic Theological College) and his supervisors, Professor Austin Cooper OMI and Dr Phillip Gleeson SDB.
AORC Gathering on Mission with Youth
The AORC Gathering on Mission with Youth was an incredible opportunity for the region to come together and share, forming new connections and strengthening old ones. Although we are from many different countries and cultures, we are united in our passion for the work we do with the young people in our region.
