The Senatus Annual Mass commemorating the life of Frank Duff was held at St Mary Star of the Sea, West Melbourne on 9^th November 2024, on which fell the beautiful feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica. This year six priests concelebrated the Mass with Fr Justin Ford, Senatus Spiritual Director, being the principal celebrant. The other five priests were Fr Andrew Paris, PP (St Mary Star of the Sea, West Melbourne), Fr Martin Ajiboye, PP (St Jude’s, Langwarrin), Fr George Hogarty SSC, Assistant Priest (Our Lady’s, Craigieburn), Fr Jim McKay, Assistant Priest (St Patrick’s Cathedral, Ballarat), and Fr Vinh Nguyen, PP (St John’s, Heidelberg). On behalf of the Senatus I thank these priests for supporting the Legion on this important day.

I also thank everyone who participated in the Rosary Procession to the church, all those who participated in the Holy Mass and those who spent time in fellowship at the lunch afterwards at Magnificat House. Many people assisted in making the day a success, while a few people worked very hard behind the scenes prior to the day as well as on the day itself. Many thanks to the helpers at the church, in the kitchen at Magnificat House, the Bookshop, and those who packed up and tidied up after the event. May Our Lord and Our Lady reward these people for their love and generosity of the Legion. A special thanks also to all those who took these photographs.
