Hi Fighter, Once again it’s been too long since I’ve posted. 🙁 I’m back in Oz now, well ensconced with my family. Even so, a large part of my heart remains in Syria. So many memories and images continue to turn over in my mind. Not all of them are good but all are full of […]

G’day Fighter, It’s Father Dave here and I’m actually now in London, having finished my week in Syria where we’ve been spending time with both politicians and refugees, sharing in the joys and sorrows of the Syrian people, and boxing with kids on the streets of Damascus, Lattakia and Homs! I have so much to share –

We leave next week and I wanted to invite you to our send-off BBQ this coming Sunday. I appreciate that not everybody will be able to come but all are welcome. Unless it’s

Hi Fighter, It’s been a while since I’ve been in contact and I’m sorry about that. Life just seems to get overwhelming at times, and with the new school year, the re-opening of our Youth Centre, and the revving up of activities here in the church I have been finding myself under an avalanche of

Hi Fighter, I got caught in a domestic violence situation tonight. I think I handled it just right. It’s so hard to get these things right. I was putting the garbage out and heard what I thought at first was kids shouting at each other. Then I saw a woman on the ground and a

Hi Fighter, It’s New Year’s Day as I start this missive and, as is inevitably the case this time of year, I’m reflecting on both the year that’s past and the year ahead. 2013 was a big year for me personally, for my family, for our church and for the Order of the Fighting Fathers.

Hi Fighter, Father Dave here reporting to you from the air – en route to Bali! No, I haven’t pocketed the offertory and fled the country. I’m actually heading to Bali to preside at the wedding of two much-love parishioners – Michael and Felicia. The couple were generous enough to pay for tickets for the
