Message from His Excellency the Honourable Hieu Van Le AC, Governor of South Australia

The Vice-Regal program has been adjusted to take account of the public health situation, resulting in the necessary cancellation or postponement of most face-to-face engagements.

His Excellency the Governor and Mrs Lan Le will, however, seek to continue their regular engagements and communication with community members and organisations by other means for the time being.

To this end, His Excellency has prepared a message to the people of South Australia here.

As we enter into this sacred week, we know it's important during these challenging times to carve out some time for prayer and reflection and to purposefully connect with others in new and innovative ways.  In many ways our journey through Holy Week is both more challenging and equally more important in praying communally and finding ways to connect with our call as Easter people.

Week 8 Bulletin

Our world is impacted by COVID-19, and as we respond we must surely show respect for each other; for the work of our leaders, our medical professionals, and all those in work that provides service.  Respect in the supermarket, on the bus, at work and wherever we move.  Let us think about how we can look after ourselves, and each other.  In the Bulletin this week:
