00:00:00,077 --> 00:00:02,656
I think the turn up of people coming along
2
00:00:02,656 --> 00:00:05,570
to show their commitment and gratitude of thanks
3
00:00:05,570 --> 00:00:06,400
it's been wonderful.
4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,683
It's a wonderful celebration today and
5
00:00:08,683 --> 00:00:12,054
it's great to see the entire Diocese coming together
6
00:00:12,054 --> 00:00:14,746
to celebrate the installation of the our new Archbishop.
7
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,764
Great hopes of the future
8
00:00:16,764 --> 00:00:20,535
and looking forward to what the Church brings in the next few years.
9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,997
It was just wonderful to be part of the entrance and all that,
10
00:00:24,997 --> 00:00:26,770
meeting the new Archbishop.
11
00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:28,484
It was actually very cool.
12
00:00:28,851 --> 00:00:30,050
I've never seen that before.
13
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,555
He definitely talked about Jesus' mission and what it means
14
00:00:33,555 --> 00:00:35,261
to not only him but to us as well.
15
00:00:35,731 --> 00:00:36,660
I was really amazed.
16
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:39,883
Even though this was a Catholic event for a Catholic Archbishop,
17
00:00:39,883 --> 00:00:42,500
you can really see that he's not just a bishop for us,
18
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:43,776
he's not just a figure for us,
19
00:00:43,776 --> 00:00:46,432
but he really is a pillar and a presence for the community.
20
00:00:46,637 --> 00:00:49,129
And seeing that and being part of that was just
21
00:00:49,129 --> 00:00:50,256
was just really special.
22
00:00:50,632 --> 00:00:52,000
I think he was down to earth.
23
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,203
I think he's going to relate to people very, very easily.
24
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,168
He knows Queensland is different,
25
00:00:57,168 --> 00:01:00,960
but I think Queensland, Brisbane is full of people who've come from elsewhere,
26
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,166
so I think he's going to be able to naturally be able to lock into that.
27
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:06,955
So, I'm looking forward to him being amongst the people.
28
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,492
Fantastic, down to earth,
29
00:01:08,492 --> 00:01:12,751
and I think it's great to hear some of his initiatives and some of
30
00:01:12,751 --> 00:01:15,820
his emphasis on reaching out to the people
31
00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:17,892
and being with the people.
32
00:01:18,182 --> 00:01:22,379
The Holy Spirit has called him forth to take us to that next level of
33
00:01:22,379 --> 00:01:23,869
of mission to the very world.
34
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,495
The good shepherd theme was coming through again which
35
00:01:26,495 --> 00:01:27,840
you know, we love because,
36
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,333
you know, we're a Church chasing that one lost sheep
37
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:33,503
and he's the man to lead us in this next season and
38
00:01:33,503 --> 00:01:36,045
I just feel humbled and honored to be in the same room and
39
00:01:36,045 --> 00:01:39,318
to be amongst so many great believers and Catholics in this Diocese
40
00:01:39,318 --> 00:01:42,287
and just to see it so represented in a holistic way,
41
00:01:42,287 --> 00:01:43,291
it's an absolute honour.
42
00:01:43,461 --> 00:01:44,852
I think it was a beautiful ceremony,
43
00:01:44,852 --> 00:01:48,846
I think Archbishop Shane will be a wonderful leader and pastor for the Diocese
44
00:01:48,846 --> 00:01:54,957
my experience of him is that he is intelligent, synodal, wants to listen,
45
00:01:54,957 --> 00:01:56,240
wants to receive,
46
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,908
very practical and very capable of
47
00:01:58,908 --> 00:02:00,724
taking decisions and moving things forward.
48
00:02:00,724 --> 00:02:03,722
So I think it's a really ideal
49
00:02:03,722 --> 00:02:05,826
position we're in post Synod to be led by him
50
00:02:05,826 --> 00:02:08,076
and I thought his homily was spot on.
51
00:02:08,076 --> 00:02:09,963
It was a beautiful collection of
52
00:02:09,963 --> 00:02:12,000
where he'd come from and where he was going too.
53
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,937
So I'm looking forward to where we're going to go.
54
00:02:14,330 --> 00:02:17,039
I'm excited for the future here in Brisbane.
