Wednesday Nov 06, 2019
Wednesday Nov 06, 2019
2000 years since the life, death and resurrection of Christ, we find ourselves in a whole new world. The call to evangelize is perennial and the Gospel message timeless, however, the Church is seeking new methods and new blood to present it’s salvific message to the modern world. This talk will equip you for the New Evangelization and explore how we as Christians share our message with today’s culture.

He is a co-founder of the Frassati Fraternity in Brisbane and holds a Bachelor of Theology (ACU) and Masters of Theology (JPII). He is married to his wonderful wife Jennifer and has two children.

T@P September 2019 - Memory and Reconciliation with Fr Justin Ford

Memory and Reconciliation: The Church and the Faults of the Past
In the Creed we profess our faith that the Church is holy. Yet across 2000 years of history we’re challenged by many actions of Catholics that were not holy: wars, persecutions, violations of human rights. In 2000 the International Theological Commission published Memory and Reconciliation: The Church and the Faults of the Past, which explored this contrast. At our September t@p, Fr Justin Ford will take up those reflections and will show, with historical examples, how the essential holiness of the Church is untainted by the sins of her members.
Fr Justin Ford grew up in Bentleigh, attending St Paul’s Primary School and St Kevin’s College. He worked as a structural engineer after studying at Melbourne University, later also gaining degrees in philosophy from the same institution. He entered the seminary in 2001 and was ordained priest in 2006. Fr Justin is now parish priest of St Mary’s Ascot Vale and Spiritual Director of the Melbourne Senatus of the Legion of Mary.

T@P October - The holy mass: Are you hungry yet? with Emma Fradd
Monday Nov 05, 2018
Monday Nov 05, 2018
This month Emma Fradd spoke on the mass, the beauty found within it and the graces we can receive when we attend.
Emma converted to Catholicism 10 years ago after spending 5 years calling herself an atheist. Since then she has lived in 3 different countries working in youth and music ministry, as well as pursuing her own music, with 6 national tours in Canada, England, and Australia.
She is passionate about encouraging and training musicians within Catholic Parishes to be well formed, reverent and enthusiastic, leading quality music within the liturgy; that which leads the congregation to deeper prayer and worship.
Along with worship, Emma writes her own music with authentic lyrics and intricate guitar work to share her relationship with God.
Emma has served 2 mission years with NET Ministries, where she now works full time in Brisbane, often travelling to promote the truth, goodness, and beauty in the Catholic church to youth and young adults across Australia. She loves most food, good coffee, dancing, beaches, and gets a twitch when she see’s a drum kit.
