Congratulations & Merry Christmas from Timor-Leste

21/12/2020

0 Comments

 
The Carmelite Community Development Ministry are very pleased to congratulate two scholarship students who have recently graduated with Bachelor degrees in Timor. We feel very proud to see these young people achieve success with their studies and to have played a role in supporting them over several years. Carmelite Brothers were present and celebrated these important life milestones with both students.
 
Sabino completed a Bachelor of Petroleum Engineering at Dili Institute of Technology. As part of his degree, Sabino travelled to Indonesia on a 2-month intensive study tour with his classmates and lecturers, enabling him to broaden his understanding of the sector and use some of the larger petroleum engineering technology that isn’t in operation in Timor yet. It was Sabino’s first time overseas and first time on an airplane.

Julito graduated with a Bachelor of Information Management (ICT) at the Institute of Business. For his final year project, Julito worked with a dental clinic in Dili. He set up an information system so the clinic could manage their patient information. He then reflected on this experience and process in his written thesis, which he had to submit and then defend in an oral exam conducted by three university lecturers.

Also, congratulations to all the students at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, Zumalai and St Francis Xavier School, Raimea who recently completed their national exams. During the exams, students were able to use some of the teaching resources and stationery that have been delivered to Zumalai over the last year or two, including the sharpeners that were collected by students at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Primary School in Sydney.

Thank you for your ongoing connection with us and support for the important programs being implemented in Timor. During what has been a truly extraordinary year, we have seen the Carmelite family in Timor respond to new challenges with compassion, creativity and resilience. We look forward to further strengthening our programs in 2021, with a continued commitment to education and youth.
 
The Carmelite Community Development Ministry wishes you all a safe and joyous Christmas and New Year.

Hello Everyone at Mt Carmel Coorparoo!

We are very busy at Zumalai Parish. Every day we have chapel, Advent reflections and Christmas preparations. We serve confessions and Masses too. I am living with Pedro, Antonio and David. Everyday the four of us are busy serving people. The dragon fruit harvest has arrived just before Christmas. Very yummy!
​
I miss all of you and remember you always in my prayer. Happy Christmas!
Fr Donato

PictureErica, Bob, Ros and Fr Janu ready to welcome at Mount Carmel Place.
The community of Our Lady of Mt Carmel is aware that there are men and women in our parish who experience social isolation, anxiety and loneliness. As a welcoming and inclusive community our parish has taken steps to offer people a friendly face, companionship, a tea/coffee and something to eat in a place which is safe and welcoming.

The St Vincent de Paul Society and Carmel Care, have collaboratively established Mt Carmel Place in the courtyard space outside the Carmel Community Room on the church grounds.  Since October 2020, on the first and third Tuesday of each month we have been welcoming people to Mt Carmel Place to find:
  • a warm welcome, peace and friendship;
  • a listening ear, respect and understanding;
  • a restful space in a safe environment; and
  • a feeling of belonging.

Mt Carmel Place is open from 9.30am to 11.00am on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Our final gathering for this year will be on Tuesday 15 December where we will share some Christmas spirit.

So please come along to Mt Carmel Place if you would like to enjoy a chat, friendship, a cuppa and a snack in a safe and friendly place. Feel welcome to bring along someone you think might enjoy the company.
John Kelly and the Mt Carmel Place Team
