Dear John,
As patron of the Oriens Journal, I send my sincerest wishes to all those present on the occasion of the official launch.
This milestone provides an opportunity to celebrate all the good work that the Oriens Journal is doing in order to provide much needed formation in the lives of God’s people.
I extend my thanks for the ongoing hard work and dedication of all those involved in this spiritual, doctrinal and liturgical renewal of the Church.
I send my greetings to all the writers and volunteers, and hope that the good work yet to come brings us ever closer to a genuine revitalisation of the Church’s missionary zeal.
Under the protection of your spiritual patrons- Saints Augustine and Gregory- I impart my apostolic blessing and prayers for a fruitful Advent and successful continuation of the work already begun.
Yours in Christ,
Julian Proteous DD
Archbishop of Hobart
