Fr Kevin Bates SMI am a Marist priest based in Sydney, where I live in a small community with three other Marist colleagues. My work takes me all around Australia, working in school and parish communities within the Catholic Church and in other churches.

Marist Sisters Celebrate
On the 29th December the Marist Sisters will mark the centenary of the Sisters’ arrival to make a foundation in Australia. On that day 1907 Sisters Melanie, Cyrille and Odilon arrived at Villa Maria Hunters Hill and were welcomed by Marist Fathers and Marist Missionary Sisters (Missionary Sisters of the Third Order Regular as they were known at that time)
I supported the Church at her birth; I shall do so again at the end of time
Mary was present at the birth of the Church as its support. She wishes to be present today through a family of believers who live her spirit and do her work of gathering the whole world to her Son, and, being touched by God's mercy, become united - one of heart and mind. As a family they support the Christian community in the same way as Mary supported it at the beginning.
