Fr. Philip Eldracher
Father Philip Eldracher is the pastor of Mary Help of Christians Chapel in Melbourne, Australia, where he provides the Traditional (Tridentine) Latin Mass to faithful Catholics throughout the country. He was ordained a priest on June 29, 2016, at Most Holy Trinity Seminary in Brooksville, Florida, under the auspices of Bishop Donald Sanborn. Following his ordination, he was sent to Australia to establish a permanent Catholic presence, as there were only about one hundred faithful Catholics in the Melbourne and Brisbane areas with no resident priest at the time. Father Eldracher has been featured in various podcasts by True Restoration Media, including "This is Catholicism" and "Clerical Conversations," where he discusses topics such as the Ten Commandments, the love of neighbor, and the nature of virtue. He has also spoken about the importance of frequent confession and the spiritual benefits of visiting the sick.
