Dear Parishioners
As November approaches remember that November is a

Some of our Parish Pastoral Councillors are coming to the end of their term.
Our Pastoral Council is now looking for you to recommend the names of new
Councillors. New members need to be people who have the interests of the
Parish at heart and wish to help the Parish in spreading the good news of
Jesus. There are sheets at the back of the Church on which you can write your
recommendations. Please think seriously about who you could recommend for
our Parish Pastoral Council.

Early in the week I was a member of the panel that interviewed prospective
Principals for the position of Principal at our St Stephens Catholic Primary
School Algester. Mr Philip Manitta has been appointed as the new Principal.
Mr Manitta is presently at the Boonah Catholic Primary School. As well is
thanking Mr Steve Taylor for his time as the inaugural Principal, we wish
Mr Manitta all the best as he begins his new role at St Stephens.
Have a good week everyone.
Fr Dan.

Reflections on the Readings
for 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A
Introduction
Today, we recall how God uses events and people as part of his designs
while reminding us that being a good Christian also means being a
responsible citizen.
First Reading: Isaiah 45:1, 4-6
Isaiah speaks of how the Persian King Cyrus is an instrument of God’s plan in freeing the
Jewish exiles from captivity in Babylon.
Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5
Paul acknowledges the Spirit’s power at work amongst the Thessalonians in their active faith,
practical love and persevering hope.
Gospel: Matthew 22:15-21
Jesus offers his response to the question of God and Caesar. How to be a faithful disciple and
also a good citizen is one aspect of how to be morally responsible in our judgements.
On Sat 25th October at St Stephen’s Cathedral
Rosary Bouquet for Our Lady of Fatima

THIS Sunday the
19th October after
Mass til 8:30pm
In the Media Room
Everyone is welcome
One of the dangers of our prayers at Mass is that they become
reactive rather than proactive.
“The Lord be with you – and with your Spirit
Lift up your hearts – we lift them up to the Lord
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God – It is right and just”
The preface (prayer above) is a prayer that asks that God’s spirit
will be very much alive and animated within you. Why? Because as
we move towards the consecration we are going to lay our life,
hopes, dreams, fears, anxieties and our very selves upon the altar
to be consumed and transformed by the God of the universe – we
need the power of the Holy Spirit to do this! As we pray the preface we are giving God permission to take, break and remake our
lives in Him.
When we pray/sing the “Holy, Holy, Holy” we are singing with the
angels and saints in heaven! As you pray/sing the “Holy, Holy,
Holy” at Mass imagine being in heaven with all the angels and
saints!!
Stay tuned for more next week!!
