They all arrive with the intention to be celibate priests.
To date 971 have been ordained. Byways is the Memories of 43. Seven were ordained and are still serving, eighteen checked out and thirteen were priests then moved out of traditional ministries. All were profoundly moulded by their Corpus Christi experience and were deeply influenced by the Jesuits who trained them and the bonds of mateship in that experience. Of the priest who stayed many took sidetracks: Hilton Deakin to anthropology in Kalumburu and East Timor, Eric Hodgens into blogging, John Ryan to Priesthood Imprisoned, John Hannon to Broken Bay, Terry Southerwood to publishing and databases, Len Falkner to Townsville and Adelaide and Len Thomas continuing his gift of journalism. All took sidetracks responding to Jesus; ‘bring them home go to the Highways and Byways’. |
