A Milestone for Deaconess Rosemary

Our Deaconess, Rosemary di Ruggiero, was admitted to the Sixth Order of Our Lady at St Alban’s, Wickham Terrace, on the 21st March, 2010.  The ceremony was conducted by Bishop Allan Bradley.  The Sixth Order is the Stage of Wisdom.  Deaconess Rosemary had already completed the previous Stages of Purity, Devotion, Knowledge, Love and Will.

I’m sure all our parishioners in Brisbane, indeed around Australia, will join with me in congratulating Rosemary on completing the sixth Stage of the Order.  She has worked with great dedication for many years and I’m sure the ceremony provided a channel for even more impetus to her work.  It was great to see so many people present at the service to support Rosemary in her chosen path
