CONGRATULATIONS
Bishop Ken Howell announced as New Bishop of Toowoomba
Pope Francis has announced this evening, 24th May, on the feast of Mary Help of Christians, the appointment of Bishop Ken Howell as the seventh Bishop of the Diocese of Toowoomba.
"In leaving my home diocese where I have served as a priest for 40 years and for the last 6 years as Auxiliary Bishop of Brisbane, I do so with both gratitude and a touch of sadness. The bishops, priests, deacons, religious and the people have greatly assisted me in my ministry, and it has been a pleasure and a privilege to have served God’s people in the Archdiocese. However, I do not come to Toowoomba as a stranger. The close links between Brisbane and Toowoomba have been long standing and I know many of the priests of the Diocese. I especially look forward to working with them and encouraging their ministry to the people in the many regions of the Diocese. I am also blessed to have several family ties with the Diocese. It will be good to deepen these wonderful bonds.
“As I prepare to move to my new home, I come with a desire to listen to God’s people and to understand and grow in love for the mission of this local Church. It is my firm hope that I may accompany the community of the Church of Toowoomba, as together we seek to live and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in the world."

NATIONWIDE ROSARY - 27TH MAY
A band of committed Catholics are asking for your assistance in the promotion of the National Holy Rosary to Our Lady Help of Christians, on Saturday the 27th May. They hope and pray that Parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Brisbane will be able to hold this event in their Parish Churches, preferably between 2-4pm. If people are unable to attend they may pray in their home or with a group. At this very unsettled time in our world, they are sure that this call to unity in prayer with our Blessed Mother Mary will help to restore God’s peace and love In our lives, especially those experiencing war, famine, abuse, sickness or homelessness.
The Bishops appointed Mother Mary, under the title of Our Lady, Help of Christians as the principal Patroness of Australia in 1844. Hence, Australia became the first nation in the world to make this appointment. It was attributed to the popularity of praying the Holy Rosary to sustain the early Catholic community at a time when there were not enough Priests.
