Message from the Governor-General ust as so many Australians draw strength and inspiration from the J members of our Defence Force, many of them draw support and pastoral care from the Catholic Military Diocese. I commend the work of the Catholic Military Diocese and their efforts to contribute to the overall health and wellbeing of Australian servicemen and women through faith. His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd), Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia Our Patron n these tough times on a range of fronts, Christian faith in the I Navy, Army and RAAF and Chaplain support services are more vital than ever. One hundred years ago in World War One, 414 Chaplains of all faiths stepped up and served in the AIF; today a much smaller number of Chaplains are carrying a huge burden from the Sinai to Sydney and beyond. The Diocese needs our help and support. Please consider this request, Tim Fischer AC We are very honoured by The Honourable Tim Fischer AC agreeing to be the Patron of the Catholic Military Ordinariate. As a young man, his connection with the Australian Army was significant, having served in 1RAR in South Vietnam. As the biography below indicates, he has been engaged in many aspects of Australian life, as well as Ambassador to the Holy See. We are very encouraged by his support to us. Tim Fischer was born at Lockhart, NSW, and educated at Boree Creek in the Riverina and Xavier College, Melbourne. Mr Fischer served with the Australian Army, 1 RAR from 1966‐1969, in both Australia and Vietnam, before returning to the family farm at Boree Creek in southern NSW. In 1971 he was elected to the NSW Parliament. During his time in State Parliament, Mr Fischer became National Party Whip and served on a number of Parliamentary Committees, including the State ‘Staysafe’ Committee. He resigned from state politics in 1984 to seek pre‐selection for the Federal Parliamentary seat of Farrer, at the time based on Albury, Corowa and Deniliquin, from the ACT to the SA border. Mr Fischer was subsequently elected Federal Member for Farrer and served in this mrole fro 1984 to 2001. During this time he was Shadow Minister for Energy & Resources, Shadow Minister for Trade, Leader of the National Party and later Minister for Trade and Deputy Prime Minister in the Howard Government (1996 ‐ 1999). He led the Official Delegation to observe the East Timor Referendum in 1999. In Federal Parliament, Tim Fischer strongly supported harmonized strict Gun Law Reform and the world’s newest transcontinental railway, Adelaide to Darwin, where freight tonnage has increased greatly since its inception in 2004. He retired from politics in 2001, served as Chair Tourism Australia 2004 ‐ 2007 and then first Rome‐resident Australian Ambassador to the Holy See 2009 ‐ 2012. He was also appointed Special Envoy by the Australian Government to Bhutan, Eritrea and South Sudan, for a period of years. A gift in your Will Making a gift to the Catholic Military Ordinariate is a meaningful way to fund the education of future priests and deacons and to support our clergy in providing spiritual guidance to our service men and women and their families. To make a bequest, you should consult your solicitor or trustee company. It may be sufficient to make an addition or amendment to an existing will by adding a codicil. A useful website for more information is: includeacharity.com.au 2 Serving Faithfully (Article by Second Lieutenant Tim Fischer, AC [Ret’d], Former Ambassador to the Holy See) iggers serving in the front line today will be machine gun crackle shrilling through the heavy roar.

  • Columbus Bishop Places Priest on Administrative Leave
    Catholic Diocese of Columbus Communications Office PHONE 6142412555 E-MAIL [email protected] DATE: September 13, 2019 RELEASE: IMMEDIATE COLUMBUS BISHOP PLACES PRIEST ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE COLUMBUS – As part of a diocesan investigation of an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor, the Most Reverend Robert J. Brennan, Bishop of Columbus, has placed diocesan priest Father Kevin F. Lutz, 69, on administrative leave, effective September 11, 2019. This action and announcement are made in accordance with the Catholic Church’s Charter and Norms for the Protection of Children and Young People and the Diocese’s published Policies for Prevention of Sexual Abuse of Minors and Response to Allegations Thereof. Father Lutz recently announced his retirement from priestly ministry at St. Mary Parish, Columbus, which was effective September 8, 2019. The next day, September 9, an accusation of sexual abuse of a minor, allegedly occurring during Father Lutz’s tenure at St. Christopher Parish, Columbus, from 1983-1986, was reported to the Diocesan Chancery office. The same day, Diocesan officials had the allegation reported to Columbus Police and notified Father Lutz of the allegation. On September 11, the details of the allegation were reviewed with Father Lutz, he was formally placed on leave, and he was advised about the steps the Church would follow as a result of the allegation. As was explained to Father Lutz, his placement on administrative leave was not an indication that the Diocese had determined that the allegation is credible. Rather, the preliminary investigation into the allegation has just begun. -MORE- COLUMBUS BISHOP PLACES – 2 of 3 A meeting of the Diocesan Board of Review for the Protection of Children will be convened in the near future to assess the results of the preliminary investigation and advise the Bishop as to whether or not it appears to be credible.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I give praise and glory to God Almighty, the creator and author of my being, essence and existence. I sincerely thank my Lord Bishop, Most Rev. Paulinus Chukwuemeka Ezeokafor for his paternal blessings, support and sponsorship. With deepest sentiments of gratitude, I thank tremendously my beloved parents, my siblings, my in-laws, friends and relatives for their great kindness and love. My unalloyed gratitude at this point goes to my brother priests here in Europe and America, Frs Anthony Ejeziem, Peter Okeke, Joseph Ibeanu and Paul Nwobi for their fraternal love and charity. My immeasurable gratitude goes to my distinguished and erudite moderator, Prof. Krzysztof Kaucha for his assiduousness, meticulosity and dedication in the moderation of this project.

    1 FAITH CONFESSION OF ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago The faith confession of St. Thomas the Apostle, “My Lord and My God”, stands in history as the most profound confession on Jesus’ true identity. ‘Lord’ and ‘God’ are the equivalent words for the Greek terms ‘Kyrios’ and ‘Theos’ respectively used to denote the Hebrew words ‘Yahweh’ and ‘Elohim’, two expressions used to address the Almighty One. Making use of these words to the Resurrected Lord, Thomas equates Jesus to the Absolute Deity. He connects the Old Testament and New Testament St. Thomas Syro-Malabar understanding of God in the person of Jesus Christ. Catholic Diocese of Chicago St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago, by living My Lord and My God and experiencing the faith confession of her patron through the celebration of her liturgy, aims at the deepening of the identity and heritage of Syro- Malabar Church in the United States of America.
