7th August (Sunday) - Albano Roque Da Costa, a newly ordained Divine Word Missionary, arrived today tonight from Goa, India, his native land. He is the fourth SVD from India to be assigned in the SVD Australia Province; the fifth one is still in formation in Melbourne. Normally, newlyarrived missionaries go through a
period of inculturation program organised by our religious leaders; so Albano will still have to learn the ropes, that is, the culture, terrain, language and lingo of Australia. He will also have the chance to visit our parishes, house of formation in Melbourne, and other places of interest,
the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Albano, hearty welcome, mate!
