IFCU National Assembly,July13-17,15

Went to Melbourne to attend the 25th IFCU national assembly held at the Australian Catholic University. The meeting was inaugurated at the Cathedral hall and later the inaugural mass was held at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Did participate in workshops focused on Multiculturalism, Spirituality and the Ethical formation of the laity.
Attended the first anniversary of the Syro-Malabar diocese of Melbourne. The ceremony was short and impressive.Church  and civil dignitaries of Melbourne wee present.  Was invited to con-celebrate with Bp.Mar Bosco Puthur. Was also present at the celebration of St.Thomas Day  and gave the homily at the mass.
For the IFCU assembly, there were seven delegates from India.Participating in the Assembly revived the memories of my past association with it.
