Archbishop Wilson expressed the solidarity and sympathy of the Catholic Community of Adelaide with all those who have lost homes, property, live stock and pets in the recent Sampson Flats fires. “We are deeply aware”, he said “of the stress and human cost of these fires to so many families, friends and people of South Australia”. Archbishop Wilson also confirmed that all the resources of the Archdiocese, particularly those of St Vincent de Paul, Centacare Services and the pastoral support of our parishes will be available to all those affected by the fire. Archbishop Wilson praised the heroism and dedication of the CFS and other emergency services through this period. “They are an example of human goodness and self sacrifice at its best,” he said. Archbishop Wilson confirmed that prayers would be offered for all those affected by the fire at Masses over this and coming weekends, and that a special collection would be taken up for the support of those who were left in need as a result of the fires.
