The Mission: Part 4 - Out There

Three Nigerian Catholic priests are sent to save Tasmania’s struggling church. But will the dwindling congregations and the resistance of the local clergy prove too hard a cross to bear? In episode 4 – Out There, the three Nigerian Fathers celebrate the first anniversary of their roller coaster ride of faith, dedication and culture shock. For the Tassie priests working with them and the communities they are reaching out to, there are inspiring surprises and even dangerous encounters in store. As they all come together to celebrate the Nigerian priests’ first year in Australia, it is clear the experience is difference for each of them. While for their mentor priests, the experiment has produced more questions than answers.

The Mission: Part 3 - Worlds Apart

Three Nigerian Catholic priests are sent to save Tasmania’s struggling church. But will the dwindling congregations and the resistance of the local clergy prove too hard a cross to bear? In episode 3 – Worlds Apart, the three Nigerian priests, now six months into their mission, are part of a Catholic community looking for solutions to churches closing down, congregations dying out and no priestly vocations. Questions arise as they discover that Aussie celebrations for Christmas are festive, and not necessarily reverential. Even Fr Kene’s unshakeable faith is rocked by the sudden numbers of ‘once a year Catholics’. Will the cultural divide prove too hard to cross as the priests go deeper into their mission in a distant land?

The Mission: Part 1 - Beginnings

Three Nigerian Catholic priests are sent to save Tasmania’s struggling church. But will the dwindling congregations and the resistance of the local clergy prove too hard a cross to bear? In episode 1, Beginnings, Fathers Christopher, Felix and Kene arrive in Tasmania on its coldest winter’s day. It’s a whirlwind of ‘enculturation’ Tassie style as they encounter Tasmanian Devils, colonial villages and snowfields. There’s the even colder reality of elderly congregations in largely empty churches and an aging local priesthood. Fr Kene goes to Launceston where the harsh reality and loneliness of being an African in Australia starts to bite. Fr Felix, sent to Tasmania’s isolated West Coast, struggles with a church culture vastly different to his own. Fr Christopher stays in Hobart’s Cathedral Parish, where it’s clear his mentor doesn’t believe importing priests is the solution to Tasmania’s clerical crisis.
