VOSA - arhiv 2025
29. August 2025 - NSW & ACT
Heading to Europe After October 12, 2025?
Check the Latest Travel Update!
A new digital European Union (EU) Entry/Exit System (EES) will commence on 12 October 2025 for all non-EU nationals, including Australians, travelling in or out of the Schengen area.
How does it work ?
European countries using the EES will gradually introduce the system at their external borders, with full implementation by 10 April 2026. Arriving into your first European destination, you will be required to have your fingerprints and photo taken, and answer Schengen Border Code questions.
A digital record will be created that registers your biometric details. The registration is free and should only take a few minutes, but when the system starts, expect longer border queues.
For the full details and more travel updates for the countries your visiting, click the link below.
Listen to VOSA Radio tomorrow to hear more about the travel update and other consular information, when we speak with the counsellor at the Slovenian Embassy in Australia.

Tedenske Novice
Ta nedelja je 22. nedelja med letom. Pri sv.maši je ljudsko petje.
V tem tednu so prvi četrtek, petek in sobota. Vabljeni k bogoslužju in zakramentom. Prosim, obvestite me o bolnih in starejših rojakih, ki ne morejo k božjim službam, da jih obiščem in obhajam na prvi petek ali mesečno druge dni.
Prihodnja nedelja je 23. med letom, angelska in očetovski dan. Pri sv. maši bo druga nabirka za duhovniški sklad škofije Parramatta za upokojene duhovnike.
V soboto teden, 13.9.,je romanje v Marian Valley, QLD. Kdor se želi pridružiti, naj se čimprej prijavi, da uredimo letalske karte in prevoz do svetišča. Sv. maša bo tam ob 11.00 dopoldne in procesija v kapelici marije pomagaj. Nato gremo na skupno kosilo.
Tudi na romanje v Penrose Park mislimo v tem svetem letu in iz berimo fatimski dan v naslednjih mesecih, po dogovoru. Naša kapelica v Penrose Parku bo kmalu stara 30 let in že kliče po ob novi. Za obnovo lahko darujete v župnijski pisarni ali elektronsko. Za kapelico in obnovo skrbi sedaj Andrew Žičkar, naš organist v Wollongongu.
Čimprej se tudi prijavite zakonski jubilanti za rafaelovo žegnanje, 28.9., in še drugi rojaki za skupno kosilo po sv. maši! Zlatoporočenci in starejši ste dobrodošli vsako leto!
POSLOVIL SE JE FLORJAN AUSER
V ponedeljek, 18. avgusta 2025, smo ob 14. uri darovali za Florjana sveto mašo pred milostnim oltarjem Marije Pomagaj na Brezjah. Na Brezjah smo se s Florjanom pogosto srečevali in tako je bilo tam tudi naše zadnje slovo, napolnjeno s hvaležnostjo in molitvijo. Maševala sva p. David Šrumpf in p. Ciril A. Božič, peli so mu prijatelji s sosedom Zdravkom, ki mu je namenil tudi besede slovesa. Gospa Lesley, ki je žaro prinesla v Slovenijo, nam je Florjana živo predstavila, da je v naših mislih in slikah kar 'oživel'. Poleg sorodnikov in prijateljev so se sv. maše udeležile tudi predstavnice NUK-a, Arhiva RS in Urada za Slovence v zamejstvu in po svetu. Telo pokojnega Florjana je bilo kremirano v Melbournu v torek, 6. maja 2025.
Žaro smo položili v grob njegove pokojne mame na pokopališču Križe pri Tržiču na Gorenjskem.
Naj dragi Florjan počiva v Božjem miru!
P. Ciril A. Božič OFM OAM
