In two weeks time, on Sunday October 15,
Archbishop Niederauer will celebrate the
10:00 am mass with us. It will be his
first time to St Dunstan Parish. It has
been his wish to visit all the parishes in
the Archdiocese and become familiar with
his flock. We are fortunate that he is
able to come to us on this
Sunday.
At the
end of mass the Archbishop will unveil a
plaque to St Dunstan. It will give a brief
outline of the life of St. Dunstan of
Canterbury. It is amazing the number of
times I’ve been asked by visitors
“Who was St Dunstan?” It will be
attached to the outside wall of the
Church, and will be seen by all who pass
by. This bronze plaque is tastefully done
and is a gift from a parishioner.
On this
happy and historical occasion we will have
our ‘Mission/Stewardship’
Sunday. We will highlight various
activities in our parish life. Different
parish organizations will have a display
and information about their activities in
the Parish Center. It is truly wonderful
to see all the different active
organizations we have in St.
Dunstan’s. We have the St. Vincent de
Paul Society, Choir, Prayer groups,
Men’s Club and Women’s Club and
many more. In total there are twenty
parish organizations. I’m sure there
is one to suit everyone! (If not, why not
meet with me to form a group to cater for
a real need in our parish?) Each
organization is always looking for new
members, so come along and see what they
are all about.
Let us
make Archbishop’s visit truly
memorable and show the beauty of St.
Dunstan’s Parish; let us show the
Archbishop the parish we love.
As Archbishop
will be celebrating mass, unveiling the
plaque and visiting our Parish
Organizations in the Parish Center, there
will be no 11:30 mass on October
15.
