Recently, in preparation for Archbishop
Niederauer’s visit, there was a
meeting of some of the parish
organizations in the rectory. It is truly
amazing the number of people so committed
to the well being of our parish and the
building up of the kingdom of God.
Truthfully you give of your time, talent
and treasure. One way or another we are
all called to be bearers of the Good News.
At
baptism we were called to be witness to
the gospel and to make the Church a living
presence of Christ in our community. All
of us have something to give to our parish
community to make it grow and mature in
Christ. I would ask you to reflect during
this week how best you can be more
actively involved in our parish. There are
many organizations and activities that you
can become in involved in. My own special
plea is for help in the Confirmation
Program. We urgently need people to share
and hand on the faith to those in our
catechetical formation program.
As I
celebrate the Eucharist on Sunday or
during the week I am always encouraged and
uplifted by your presence. By your
attendance at Mass and the reverence with
which you attend the Eucharist you show
your love for the Lord. Your faith builds
up my faith, your dedication deepens my
commitment, your presence gives me
courage. St Dunstan’s is truly a
remarkable faith filled parish.
Day by
day all of us live the Gospel and deepen
our faith, hope and love. As we celebrate
Mission/Stewardship Sunday next weekend,
we celebrate who we are. We celebrate the
diversity of the Holy Spirit active in our
parish. I pray that we may draw closer to
Christ and be his witnesses in our
community; that we may share the burdens
of others and always be attentive to the
voice of the Holy Spirit.

Dear
God,

I
bet it is very hard for you to

whole world. There are only 4
people in our family and I can
never do it.
