Mission Sunday - 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A - 19 October 2014.
Haere mai e te whanau, Tena koutou katoa, a kia noho te Ariki ki a koutou.
Welcome, family, greetings to you all. May the Lord be with you.
Dear Parishioners,
Anyone who has truly experienced God’s saving love does not need much time or
lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love. Every Christian is a missionary
to the extent that he or she has encountered the love of God in Christ Jesus: we
no longer say that we are “disciples” and “missionaries”, but rather that we are
always “missionary disciples”.
Pope Francis
Back in August, in our Adult Faith Formation series, we reflected on the theme of ‘Missio’ – ‘Mission’.
Sister Catherine Hannan reminded us so very beautifully and simply that compassion and mission are
intimately linked.
Thank you for the way you have all supported the bereaved families in our Parish recently with so many
acts of compassion and sympathy, food, visits, prayer. It is heart-warming to see and hear of the many
ways your practical compassion and charity makes a difference to those in need.
Today, Mission Sunday, brings a further call upon our generous hearts – to support those who minister to
bring the gospel to all peoples and cultures. I have invited Mike Redman and Corrie McCardle to give a
short presentation on their ‘Grains of Hope’ project in which members of our Parish are supporting the
Metsimothlabe Mission Station in Botswana. They will be talking at the 5.30pm Vigil Mass on Saturday
night at Our Lady of Fatima Church and after the 9.30am Sunday Mass at Saint Patrick’s Church – all are
welcome.
With every blessing in Christ,
Father Michael McCabe
