From the very beginning (1952) the Scalabrinians in Australia approached the care of migrants as a specific care, but from within the structures of the local Church. While providing pastoral care to people in territorial parishes, they went beyond the parish boundaries to seek and reach out to migrants, particularly through itinerant missions in various parts of the country. Eventually the ministry became ever more specific and qualified, with mission houses and centres for the migrants, the lay apostolate, as for example through the Italian Catholic Federation, apostleship of the sea, villages for the aged, radio programs, media and study centres and, more recently, a specific formation for Lay Scalabrinians. Sensitivity to the change of immigration flows elicited attention to the needs of the Spanish-speaking migrants and later to Filipinos and Portuguese speaking. Likewise, the presence of Sudanese refugees moved the local Church, confident of the peculiar experience of the Scalabrinians, to ask them to attend to the various needs of these refugees. Involvement in offices of the Church facilitated the action for an increased awareness and openness of the Church toward migrants.
Sejak awal (1952) Misionaris-misionaris Scalabrinians di Australia memperhatikan secara khusus pelayanan untuk para migrant, tapi dalam ruang lingkup gereja local. Mereka tidak hanya berpusat pada satu paroki territorial tetapi lebih dari itu, mereka membentuk misi-misi itineran di beberapa bagian negara Australia untuk melayani para migran. Kemudian pelayanannya menjadi lebih spesifik dan qualified dengan terbentuknya rumah-rumah misi dan pusat-pusat pelayanan para migran, gerakan pelayanan para awam, misalnya lewat Italian Catholic Federation (Federasi Orang Katolik Italia), Apostleship of the Sea (pelayanan bagi pelaut), Panti bagi para jompo, siaran radio, media dan pusat studi, dan akhir-akhir ini, formasi khusus bagi para awam Scalabrinians. Kepekaan akan perubahan-perubahan arus imigrasi mendorong para missionaris Scalabrinian juga untuk melayani para migran yang berbahasa Spanyol dan kemudian para migran Filippina dan migran yang berbahasa Portugis. Sekarang ini para Misionaris Scalabrinians mendedikasikan dirinya untuk melayani para pengungsi dari Sudan.

House for Aged Migrants
Scalabrin
i Village Limited began in 1969 when the Scalabrini Fathers and a group of Sydney businessmen formed a committee to erect a retirement village for aged Italian migrants. At the present time there are 6 villages in NSW and 1 in VIC providing care for a total of over 700 residents. Half of these are accommodated in Nursing Homes, while the rest either in Hostels or in Self Care Units. Scalabrini is privileged in having over 200 dedicated volunteers contributing in a network of support activities. They are an integral part of what we refer to as the “Scalabrini Family” and includes all Board members.
Scalabrini Village di dirikan pada tahun 1969 ketika Para Imam Scalabrinian dan sebuah
kelompok Pengusaha Sydney membentuk sebuah committee untuk membentuk sebuah tempat tinggal untuk migrant-migran Italia yang sudah pension. Sekarang ini ada 6 tempat di NSW dan 1 di VIC yang mampu melayani lebih dari 700 orang. Scalabrini sangat bersyukur karena ada lebih dari 200 sukarelawan yang membantu dalam pelayanan ini. Mereka sudah menjadi sebuah li
ngkaran “Keluarga Scalabrini”.
Italian Catholic Federation
The Federazione Cattolica Italiana (FCI) has been active since 1960. It is made up of 20 sections in four states of Australia and administered by a Central Committee. It has 840 member
s who are practically all of Italian Origin. The federation promotes the religious, social and cu
ltural wel
l-being of migrants. This group has a strong working relationship with the Scalabrinian missionaries both at home and abroad. The FCI, which in its early days focused only on Italian migrants, has of recent times looked beyond its own community and assisted migrants of other backgrounds.
