President’s Report

My dear Tamil catholic association member,

We are nearing the year end of 2016. The days have gone so fast and we still think what we have achieved during this year and so soon we will be decorating our houses for Christmas celebrations.

TCAV is marching towards making itself as a friendly spiritual/social environment by calling all our members to actively participate in the fellowship that follows our monthly mass. We are organising few activities during the fellowship at Dandenong mass and priority is given for children participations.

I would like to thank Nirmala Alphonse and Ivan Anthony for taking enormous effort to give a new dimension to our website. We welcome your articles to be published in our website. please do not hesitate to contact us.

I am delighted to contribute my services and shoulder the responsibility to serve the community as a servant of god.

I will be transparent in all our activities and engagements with our members through the newsflash.

God Bless

Tyrone Gnanapragasam
President TCAV

Celebrations and anniversaries

Our Chaplain Rev.Fr. Anthony Gnanapragasam will be celebrating 23 years as a priest in October 2016. We thank you Fr. Anthony for accepting God’s invitation and his call to serve the priestly ministry. Your vocation is that of pure service to Christ and his entire church is greatly appreciated by our community. During our October Tamil mass we will be praying especially for our chaplain that God guide, protect, help through his life in his priest ministry. May our chaplain model his life on the mystery of lord’s cross and we thank you for the service you have given our community as we understand that priests are some of the hardest working members of the church.

You remain in our prayers as you continue in your ministry and we assure you that we will continue to support in your ministerial work.
