Our deacon Fr Alexander has just come back from a massive solo bike ride from Melbourne to Sydney. The trip took ten days, averaging over 110km per day. The aim? Fr Alex is raising money for the charity, The Fathering Project. This organisation is dedicated to helping fathers across Australia be the best they can, to prevent long-term social, emotional and cognitive difficulties and create the conditions for children to thrive. Healthy families are the building blocks of a healthy society. Fr Alex has been working in the community services field for over thirty years, and began work with this organisation three years ago. In 2022 Fr Alex took a group of thirty-five men and climbed Mt Kosciuszko, the highest peak in Australia. Having now completed his epic bike ride, we look forward with great interest to hearing about his next adventure... --------------------------------------------------
