Planning for the future of St Anne’s Parish:

For over a year the Parish Pastoral council (PPC) has looked at how our parish is administered and how we serve the people of our parish. With the support of the Parish Priest the PPC undertook a thorough review of the parish’s leadership and administration structures. Reasons for the review and future focussed change. We have declining numbers of priests; our current priests are aging and there are not enough new priests being ordained to cover the shortfall in NZ and globally. Moreover, the outlook would suggest that this will not improve. We are already seeing a few priests having to be shared across parishes in NZ, and several parishes becoming one. It is also important to understand the role and responsibilities of the laity and the important part that all parishioners play in the effective running of the church. The role of the Parish Priest was never meant to be centred around the day to day administrative events of the parish. Furthermore, with the shifting complexities of the legal environment, more onerous health and safety and property requirements these tasks are beyond the capabilities and training of a Priest. Not to mention taking care of the administration of a parish pulls the priest away from his primary function which is to provide spiritual and pastoral care to the community. Additionally, the Marist community that serve St Anne’s have a tradition of moving priests every 3-6 years. Each new priest brings their own management style, agendas and areas of focus. If we want to be future focussed as a parish, we need to have a leadership and administration structure that is strong in its ability to manage and administer the Parish. The very nature of the Priest is that they come and go, but the Parish and the people stay for life. The review lead to the establishment of three new part time, paid roles within the parish. These new roles mean the disestablishment of the former Parish Secretary and Parish receptionist roles. The new structure will comprise of Operations Manager, Communications Administrator and Receptionist. There will be more information about these roles and how you might apply for them if you are interested on the website. However, these roles are not enough to create the change we need to ensure our parish flourishes now and in the future. St Anne’s parish has low numbers of volunteers given the size and we need more people to help where they can. We all have gif ts that can be use in so many ways to add to the life of the church, please reach out and ask for ways to be more involved. Theresa Simson has been the most zealous and ardent servant to the parish for many years, 21 of these in full time employment. We owe her a great deal of thanks and gratitude for her unquestionable service to St Anne’s parish as a volunteer and paid employee. Theresa will no longer work as our Parish Secretary. The appointment of Vicky Rogers as Part time receptionist and office person will take up the new role this Tuesday. The Office will open from Tuesday-Friday 9.00 am -3.00 pm. AJ Scroninge (acting Parish Chairperson) and Fr Brian (Parish Priest)

Parish Newsletter 22nd September 2019

Liturgy News:

But the Word of God, in the Catholic and Orthodox understanding, is not confined to Scripture; rather, Pope Francis noted, Sacred Scripture is the written testimony of the divine Word, the undisputed memory that displays the event of Revelation. However, the Word of God precedes the Bible and surpasses it. That is why the centre of our faith isn't just a book, but a salvation history and above all a person, Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh. The relationship between Christ, the Word Made Flesh, and the Scriptures, the written Word of God, lies at the heart of what the Church calls Sacred Tradition: It is precisely because the Word of God embraces and extends beyond Scripture that, in order to properly understand it, the Holy Spirit's constant presence, who guides us "to all truth," is necessary. It is necessary to place ourselves within the great Tradition that has, with the Holy Spirit's assistance and the Teaching Church’s guidance, recognized the writings as the Word that God addresses to his people, who have never ceased meditating upon it and discovering inexhaustible riches from it. Some notes from the Liturgy Committee: Training of Readers of the Word; Happening this weekend.

1. Anointing of the Sick, with Holy Trinity Primary School coming to be with us . Anointing of the Sick Mass on Wednesday 20th November- 11.30 am For all who wish to be anointed, keep this day free.

2. Thanksgiving Mass Sunday 1st December 10.00am – the Frist Sunday of Advent. this is way of gathering all the people of the

parish to celebrate all that people do for each other in our parish. This will be organised by the Parish Council, the Liturgy Committee and the Events Team. The purpose behind this is that we gather for the Eucharist, and share a lunch together in the school grounds. Christmas Eve, Mass, the Family Mass will be under the Canopy at the School. This will be for all our families to gather in a

special way for Christmas.
