Bishop Joe Caddy has made his first official visit to the Torres Strait, bringing a sense of excitement and blessings to the island communities! Upon arriving at Horn Island, he was warmly greeted by parishioners and took the opportunity to visit the local church before continuing his journey to Kirriri (Hammond Island). There, he met with local elders and students, and enjoyed a light lunch with the community. The visit’s highlight was a vibrant evening on Waiben (Thursday Island), where the community gathered for food and traditional dancing, and to formally welcome Bishop Joe. The following day, Bishop Caddy celebrated All Saints Mass and engaged in ecumenical discussions with other church leaders, deepening the spirit of unity and fellowship. The community eagerly anticipates the Bishop’s return, marking this first visit as a meaningful step in nurturing faith and connection across the Torres Strait.
