Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Cycle A – 28th September to 4th October 2008
How do we ensure that we always practise what we preach? It is easy to start out with the best of intentions but, as we have noted, the nature of our world is so shot through with the idea of selling ourselves that it can be difficult to pursue an alternative path.
Parish Pastoral Council
A number of vacancies have arisen on St Marie's Parish Pastoral Council. The PPC meets once every two months and deals with a range of issues relating to the Parish. Nominations open on Saturday 4th October and close on Sunday 19th October. Nomination forms will be available on the Welcome desk and need to be returned to Cathedral House.
Parish AGM
St Marie's Annual Parish AGM will take place on Sunday 5th October in the Houlden Hall, immediately after the 10:30am Mass. The meeting will receive a report of the Parish Pastoral Council's work over the last twelve months and there will be an opportunity for parishioners to ask questions and raise issues they would like the PPC to take up.
The Year of St Paul - 28th June 2008 to 29th June 2009
Pope Benedict XVI has declared June 2008 – June 2009 a Year of St Paul in celebration of the 2000th anniversary of the apostle’s birth. It is reckoned that St Paul was born between 6 – 10 A.D. The Holy Father explained that:
‘The Apostle of the Gentiles, who dedicated himself to the spreading of the good news to all peoples, spent himself for the unity and harmony of all Christians. May he guide us and protect us in this bimillenary celebration, helping us to advance in the humble and sincere search for the full unity of all the members of the mystical body of Christ.’
