Our Parish Vision…..’Living as Christ’ Welcome, Engage, Love, Serve
I found myself challenged by today’s Gospel. Jesus calls two men and says “Follow me”. Though
neither refuses, both find reasons not to follow straight away; one asks to bury his father first, the
other wants to say goodbye to his family. Jesus response to their requests sounds harsh. Isn’t it
good to say goodbye to your loved ones, or to be present for the burial of a family member?
At this point, these men did not know what we, as Christians, know. They didn’t understand that the
man who was asking them to give up everything in their lives and follow him was none other than the
son of God.
How many times have we responded to God in the same way? God is calling us but it can be hard to
recognise Him. We may already have plans, important things we want to do, and although we hear
the call, we do not make following it priority.
However, no matter how many times we’ve delayed responding to God’s call, his invitation stands.
And even though we’ve gone our own way, Christ finds us where we are and requests our company
on his mission.
Being a disciple of Christ is not easy. It implies a leap of faith. It requires us to freely choose, every
single day, to live for something greater than ourselves.

Greetings and welcome to our youth corner. A heartfelt thanks to all families, friends, and parishioners for your contribution of support towards our Confirmation youth. The teamwork and accompaniment we offered, helped strengthen their faith and confidence to be closer to Christ. We ask that you continue to
support our youth in their journey of a faith filled life.
To the youth band families (we need more), we are so blessed to have you lead the music in all our Youth Masses and especially on special occasions. Thank you so much for the extra hours of practicing to help make the Confirmation Mass so special. We pray that you will continue to serve God by the giving of your time and
talents to help build up His kingdom.
Last but not the least, to our young leaders, thank for offering your time and talents to lead this program and being wonderful role

Fr. Thomas O’Loughlin’s Visit
Fr. Thomas O’Loughlin will be in Hastings to talk on the topic of
“Journeying with Luke’s Gospel through the Sundays of the
year”. Please join with us at Sacred Heart Church on the 11th of
July 2:00pm. Most welcome. Cuppa tea afterwards.
“A Walk through the Mass: A Step-by-Step Explanation”
Part one: Gathering rites
Penitential Rite, Gloria. All the other ritual acts of this first part of the Mass are intended to gather us together into a worshiping assembly. Sometimes we are asked to pause and recall our common need for salvation (the Penitential Rite). Sometimes the hymn “Glory to God in the Highest” is sung or recited at this point. The “Gloria” has been a part of the Mass since about the sixth century! These longer hymns and responses are found in the missalette at our seat. Opening Prayer. At the close of this first part of the Mass the priest will ask us to join our minds in prayer, and after a few moments of silence he will collect our intentions into one prayer to which we all respond “Amen,” a Hebrew word for “So be it.”
HOSPITAL CHAPEL SERVICE - We need your help. On 7th, 14th and 21st of July our Parish is rostered to assist with accompanying patients from the wards to the Sunday service held in the hospital chapel. If you can spare one hour, from 9.45 a.m., on any of these dates, please contact Joan Thompson, ph. 8767265 to register your name. Thank you
Branch 172 Hibernian AGM The Hibernian's will be holding their AGM after the 8.30a.m. Mass at OLOL on Sunday, 7th July 2019. Our officers will be installed at Mass, with morning tea to follow. After morning tea, our meeting will begin.

Reminder -Wednesday
Cuppa at Sacred Heart
Come along to our morning cuppa and
light refreshments, held in the gathering
space each Wednesday between 10 and 11am. If you know
someone who would like to come, bring them, or let them
know it’s on.
What a wonderful celebration last Sunday at St Peter
Chanel!
Sixteen children celebrated receiving the Body and Blood of
Christ for the very first time. Even the few technical hiccups
couldn’t dampen the mood. St Mary’s school was well
represented, the church was packed to the brim. Thank you to
all our leaders, Alison Clarke, Shauna Costello, Stephanie
Allen and Rebecca Lyall who walked with our children on their
faith journey, which lead to this wonderful sacrament.
Happy 80th Birthday Carmel Martin
May you be gifted with God’s blessings on
your special day.

St. Mary’s Primary School - In Joy Cowley’s book, Veil over the Light, there is a quote which says “In perfection, there is no room for growth.” It came steadfastly into my mind at the First Holy Communion Mass last Sunday. When the power point was not working one of my options was to burst into tears and have a nervous breakdown on the spot. However, with the great expertise of Preston and Greg Epplett and Father Vince (I am eternally grateful to you all!) it sort of got sorted and we went on to celebrate a wonderful Mass. The ‘team’ at St. Peter Chanel worked together beautifully as they always do! Thank you and God bless you. Teresa Neilson D.R.S.

St. John’s College - It was wonderful to see ten of our young men being confirmed over the week-end and the support they received from their family and friends. On Monday our Y11 students walked from St Pat’s church in Napier to St John’s in Hastings to raise money for the “Whatever It Takes” Trust. This is an organisation that provides support for people suffering with mental health and addiction issues. This is the penultimate week of term two. We will end our term next on Thursday with our St John’s Feast Day Mass which will take place at 10am at Sacred Heart Church. We are holding our OPEN EVENING on Sunday 4th August at 6pm. For more information about enrolments please phone the office – 878 6853.
Sacred Heart College - We had a wonderful day on Friday celebrating Feast Day - Mass, followed by a lovely morning tea in the Hannigan centre and then back to school for our annual Feast Day concert. Students from Fairhaven in Havelock North joined us, as they always do, for the day. On July 31 we will hold our annual Touch of Class – where Year 7 and 8 students get to experience a day in the life of a high school student. Please contact the school office on 8353761 if you would like to be part of this day. God Bless Maria Neville-Foster (Principal)
