Vatican rep to visit Broken Hill

HIS Excellency Charles Balvo, Apostolic Nuncio to Australia, will be leading an eucharistic celebration at Broken Hill’s Sacred Heart Cathedral on Sunday, November 17.

The special mass will be held at 10am, followed by a community lunch at the Parish Centre on Lane Street.

Archbishop Balvo has been Apostolic Nuncio to Australia – the pope’s representative for Australia – since January 2022.

Dean of the Cathedral, Father Vincent Kamba, said the visit is important to the Broken Hill community and a way to bring locals together.

“As he travels around the country, he will shepherd the people who have been put under his care,” Father Kamba said.

“It is a way of coming to uplift the community in our diocese, and telling the people ‘you are not alone, we are also together with you’”

“I would like to welcome the Broken Hill community to come together, those who are not Catholics and Catholics alike, we would like everybody to join us in welcoming the Apostolic Nuncio of Australia”.

Archbishop Balvo will be visiting the region from November 10 to 18, leading eucharistic celebration on the Saturday for a Vigil at 6pm, and on November 17 at a special mass.

To attend the special mass RSVP via email shparish@iinet.net.au by Monday, November 11.
