Father Dave’s Missive – March 26, 2014

Hi Fighter, My apologies for another prolonged silence. I’m afraid I’ve been flat out of late organising our Peace Pilgrimage to Syria. 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 […]

Father Dave’s Missive – February 28th, 2014

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

Father Dave’s Missive – January 31st, 2014

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

Father Dave’s Missive – January 6th, 2014

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.

Father Dave’s Missive – December 12, 2013

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

Father Dave’s missive – November 21st, 2013

G’day Fighter, What a magnificent time we had last Thursday night at Fight Club! If you missed my invitation, we had six members of the Palestinian Olympic team join us. Not all of the team were boxers but all of them were great ambassadors for their country and a number of them joined in the

My not-quite-weekly Missive – November 5th, 2013

Hi Fighter, Forgive my prolonged silence. I’m afraid I’ve just had my head down lately, struggling with balancing my commitments to the church, the youth centre, the fight club, the campsite, my websites and my family. Things are plenty busy at the moment as we get into the lead-up to Christmas. Even so, I’m gulping

Weekly Missive – October 4th, 2013

Hi Fighter, I’m writing to you from the lovely town of Narooma on our state’s south coast. Our family is taking a few days off at Ange’s partents’ house and, as you can see from the pic below, the children are out frolicking in the sunshine and enjoying the great outdoors! I’m afraid that since

Weekly Missive – September 11th, 2013

[imaioVideo v=1] Speaking at the “Hands Off Syria” rally in Sydney (if you can’t view this video, click here)  Hi there Fighter, It’s been a dramatic week! While America prepares to unleash hell on Syria, Australia has elected a new government that promises to make life hell for asylum seekers! We live in dark times
