AND PAROUSIA PODCAST
OrdinationSubset1.jpeg

We give thanks to Almighty God for the Priestly Ordination of Fr Thomas Sofatzis FSSP on the 8th August 2020 by His Lordship, Richard Umbers, Auxiliary Bishop of Sydney. This joyous event took place in St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney.

​

Readers may be interested in the above Parousia Podcast in which Phillip Brooks is joined with Fr Thomas Sofatzis to discuss the sacred Priesthood of Jesus Christ, ordinations in the midst of Covid, the importance of beauty in the liturgy, Church architecture and sacred music.

​

Fr Sofatzis grew up in Sydney attending his home parish of St Bernadette’s in Clemton Park before discovering the Traditional Latin Mass at the Church of the Maternal Heart of Mary in Lewisham and subsequently joining the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter. Fr Sofatzis had only been ordained a month at the time of this recording.

​

ABOUT US

Fraternity priests offer the Traditional Latin Mass daily and provide wide-ranging pastoral care for the faithful centred upon the traditional prayers and sacramental forms loved by Saints and so highly prized by the Catholic Church. The Fraternity came to Oceania in 2000 and so far has been invited by the bishops to work in the dioceses of Adelaide, Auckland, Broken Bay, Canberra, Maitland-Newcastle, Parramatta, Sydney and  Wilcannia-Forbes.
