🇦🇺 As most of you know by now, Father Luigi Sabbadin suddenly passed away. The entire Italian community, which he served with dedication and love for most of his life, will miss him dearly.

The funeral mass will take place on Friday September 23 at 10 AM at the Mater Christi Church, 413 Grange Road, Seaton. Live streaming of the Funeral Mass will be also available at: peterelbergfunerals.com.au

Com.It.Es decided to commemorate him through the words of Sister Quintilia:

"Father Luigi, we remember and mourn the great void you left in the parish of Mater Christi of the Scalabrini Fathers with great sorrow.
Italian missionary priest who gave his life to bring the word of Jesus to everyone.
He leaves a great void in the Italian community of Adelaide, especially for the most vulnerable and in need of help and affection.
Since I met him, here in Adelaide, I have never seen him tired, always ready to rush to the aid of the most vulnerable and sick, in hospitals and in their own homes. In my opinion, he was and remains the genuine missionary who devoted his life to helping his brothers and sisters in need.
Strongly desired by the community for his spiritual and human abilities, and for that Italian culture which with his absence becomes a void to be filled with the same passion and mercy he witnessed for the Lord, all brothers and sisters ".

Sister Quintilia

Rest In Peace, Fr Luigi.

🇮🇹 Come ormai molti di voi sapranno, Padre Luigi Sabbadin è improvvisamente passato a miglior vita. Mancherà molto a tutta la comunità italiana, che ha servito con dedizione e amore per tutta la sua vita.

Il funerale avrà luogo venerdì 23 settembre alle 10:00 am presso la Chiesa Mater Christi, 413 Grange Road, Seaton. La diretta streaming della Messa funebre sarà disponibile anche su: peterelbergfunerals.com.au

Noi di Com.It.Es abbiamo deciso di ricordarlo attraverso le parole di Suor Quintilia

"Padre Luigi, con grande dolore ricordiamo e pensiamo al grande vuoto che hai lasciato nella parrocchia di Mater Christi dei Padri Scalabrini.
Sacerdote italiano missionario che ha donato la sua vita per portare la parola di Gesu' a tutti.
Lascia un grande vuoto nella comunita' italiana di Adelaide soprattutto nei piu' fragili e bisognosi di aiuto ed affetto.
Da quando lo ho conosciuto, qui in Adelaide, non lo ho visto mai stanco, sempre pronto a correre in aiuto dei piu' fragili e ammalati, in ospedale e nelle proprie case. Per me e' stato e rimarra' il missionario autentico che ha fatto della sua vita una continua donazione ai fratelli e alle sorelle in difficolta'.
Fortemente voluto dalla communita' per le sue capacita' spirituali ed umane, e per quella cultura italiana che con la sua assenza diventa un vuoto da colmare con la stessa passione e misericordia da lui testimoniata per il Signore, i fratelli e le sorelle tutte".

Suor Quintilia
