Two buses arrived to pick us up from the Mt. Gambier Airport.  Nathaniel Sutton and Bill Quirke gave us a short site seeing trip around Mt. Gambier then on to the Parish Centre for a lunch prepared by the Parish.  Carol Chislett, who arranged our visit was very interested in the Earth Angel’s Care CD’s.  As a fundraiser for World Youth Day the CD’s will help to bring out people from East Timor for WYD.  Goodbye to Mt. Gambier, however we offer our thanks once again to Carol and her support team who made this short visit so pleasurable.

With a Letter of Welcome to Adelaide from Archbishop Wilson the team arrived safely at Aldinga Airport.  After meeting with the Press, the team were taken by bus to Dernancourt Parish who willingly put their hand up as hosts for the Fly Away to Heaven Project.  David Cunningham had arranged Fr. John to be the concelebrant for Mass with the Parish Priest Fr. Leo Mifsud.  After Mass the people enjoyed a BBQ tea cooked by the Knights of the Southern Cross.

Lidia Soares from the National Civic Council Melbourne was flown to Adelaide to be guest speaker.  Lidia was escorted by Joan and Harry Bollmeyer who offered their home for her stay.  Lidia spoke on the hardships of her home country East Timor and was very well received by the people of Adelaide.

Korey Livy delighted the people once again with his country and western singing.  People bought Earth Angel’s Care CD’s as Korey with his joyful personality amused the crowd.

Fr. John gave his presentation and afterwards mingled with the people answering questions and enjoying the evening.

To the Parish Priest Fr. Leo Mifsud, the Parish Co-Coordinator David Cunningham the Dernancourt Parish, and to bus driver Joe we say ‘Thank You’.  To our World Youth Day Organisers Julie Trinidad, Anne Rhodes and Oste Farrugia we are very grateful for all the time and effort given to help get the message of our Project to the people.  God Bless you all.
