Jude's First Holy Communion


A sunny day in Sydney for 9 year-old Jude's First Communion at St Canice's. Grand Aunt Anne and Trev were down from Brisbane to join Bill, Mindy and Jude to make it a family affair. 

The Mass was offered by Fr Paul for better health for my elder brother Tony (Jude's grandfather) in Brisbane as he continues his amazing battle and beating the ravages of cancer thus far.

After the Mass we walked down to Rushcutter's Bay for a 'Communion Breakfast' at lunch time at Italian Restaurant Marta. I had the best Roast Porchetta, pork belly with crispy skin, herbs and lemon . . . .mmm. Others enjoyed the lasagna with veal meatballs.

Great Aunt Anne and Trevor from Brisbane, join Bill and Mindy with Uncle Michael outside St Canice's to support Jude on this important day.

Fr Paul Fyfe SJ gives Jude his Certificate of First Communion and a gift.

NEW YEAR'S DAY 2017 - LUNCH



Grand Uncle Michael is entertained to a New Year's Day lunch by Bill and wife Mindy (and soon to be seven years old, grand nephew, Jude). See how they grow!


Delicious bacon and egg toasties at Pickled, but that doesn't mean uncle Michael got away scot-free. He e'engaged' the little boy not only by arranging for him to get a cold iced chocolate, but also promising to get him his first camera and show him how to use it. 
Silly uncle!
