Fr Atsushi leaving...


23rd Sunday after Pentecost

Went to 7.45am said eucharist. It's sad to know that The Rev'd Atsushi Shibaoka will no longer serve as Senior Associate Priest at SJKS Sydney. As today's (Nov 12) been his last Sunday, he presided the eucharist himself and later delivered a farewell sermon. He admitted the struggle of preparing today's sermon - which would be his last - for six weeks!

He encouraged every believers to take courage in living this worldly life. He thanked the parishioners for accepting him as their shepherd and their willingness to share their lives with him as their friend.

Good wishes to you, Fr Atsushi, for you new ministry in the RAAF.
