On Sunday 16 October Archbishop Mark Coleridge (Brisbane QLD) entrusted the pastoral care of Regina Caeli parish, Coorparoo Heights, to the Carmelites. Fr Martinho Da Costa OCarm, parish priest of the neighbouring Carmelite parish of Coorparoo, was commissioned as Administrator during the mass celebrated by the Archbishop. Also present were Fr Paul Cahill (Prior Provincial), Fr Matthew Tonini (Associate Pastor), Br Albino Dos Santos (Deacon) and Fr John Garrahy, former Administrator of Regina Caeli parish.
There has been a long association between the 2 parishes with Our Lady of Mt Carmel School serving as the primary school for both parishes.
We wish Martinho, Matthew and Albino every blessing as they take up this new ministry on behalf of the Province.
