| Summary: | In 2023 we celebrate the centenary of the foundation of Corpus Christi College at Werribee, the regional seminary for the dioceses of Victoria and Tasmania. This represented, not only a new direction for the formation of clergy in those dioceses, but also (or so it seemed) the end of a dream for the Australian church. Only nine years before, the Manly Union had been inaugurated, on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of St Patrick's College, Manly, in a flush of enthusiasm for a national seminary. This union, made up of priests who had studied for the priesthood for at least part of their formation at St Patrick's College, Manly, and/or St Columba's College, Springwood, was committed to the encouragement of priestly vocations among native-born Australians and to the promotion of a national seminary, a national ecclesiastical university, and an Australian College in Rome. Its motto was Pro Deo et Patria-"For God and Fatherland". |
