Year in Review 2020 Catholic Diocese of Sandhurst 25 Seminarians farewell Jackson Saunders who returned to Australia at the beginning of lockdown. SEMINARIANS “In the beginning of March the whole of Italy went into strict lockdown. By the end of March the seminarian community had shrunk from 180 people to 24 people as many seminarians returned to their home countries, including Sandhurst seminarian Jackson Saunders. By June, lockdown had eased somewhat and public Masses were allowed. Postgraduate studies in Canon Law continued online. We tried to minimise the impact caused by the disruptions by keeping the same schedule until the end of semester in late May.” Adi Indra If we believe that God loves us and wants the best for us, let us accept the constant call of Jesus, who invites us to attune our thoughts and actions, even our dreams and desires, to His Will, because it is only in Him that we can find the fullness of life (cf. John 10:10). “I really hope that we can learn from our experiences in 2020, how to listen more closely to Our Lord Jesus, whose words are ‘Spirit and Life’.” (John 6:63).
