Remembering Father Valerijan Jenko OFM
The Tuesday that just passed would’ve been the 100th birthday of the late
Father Valerijan Jenko OFM, the former long-serving Head of the Slovenian Mission in Merrylands. A true pioneer, he dedicated his life to serving the Slovenian community in Sydney over many decades.
His unwavering commitment laid the foundation for all that followed, and his legacy continues to inspire us today.
Dragi Pater,
na tvoj 100. rojstni dan mislimo nate. Svoje življenje si posvetil naši skupnosti. Na začetku si ustanovil toliko pomembnih stvari in za to smo hvaležni za tvojo prisotnost v našem življenju.
Počivaj v božjem miru.
We also extend our sincere thanks and acknowledgment to Father Darko Žnidaršič for his tireless dedication and ongoing work in keeping our Slovenian Mission alive in Sydney.
Please note that VOSA Radio are taking a break with a musical program prepared for tomorrow, with the full team returning next Saturday 17th January 2026.

Tedenske Novice
Ta nedelja je praznik Jezusovega Krsta. Danes končujemo božični čas, božične pesmi in jaslice pa še ohranimo do svečnice. – Pri sv. maši je ljudsko petje.
Po sv. maši bo sestanek za naše pevce.
Srečanje v naši dvorani je kot običajno. Vabimo vas, da se prijavite za postrežbo za naslednje nedelje.
Ob 5.00 popoldne je sv. maša v Wollongongu – Figtreeju.
V Canberri v Januarju ne bo slovenske sv. maše. V Februarju pa bo sv. maša v nedeljo, 15.2., ob 6.00 zvečer.
Marijanski koledarji in družinske pratike vas čakajo na polici pod pevskim korom. Vzemimo si jih, čimprej, tem bolje ($ 10 koledarji, $ 10 pratike).
Čimprej obnovimo naročnino na Misli, darujmo dar za Rafaela in dar v božičnih – Rafaelovih kuvertah. Bodimo velikodušni, saj s temi darovi krijemo zavarovanje naše cerkve, dvorane (public liability insurance) in še druge izdatke.
