Living the Sunday Liturgy
PRAYER FOCUS
May we love one another.
What does 'love one another' mean in your life right
now?
Take time to wonder at the beauty of
a baby or small child.
Could you babysit for someone this week?
“Anyone who welcomes one of
these little children in my name,
welcomes me; and
anyone who welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who
sent me.”

Greetings to everyone from New Zealand
where I have spent
my first week at St. Theresa's Parish in Invercargill.
I arrived here last Friday and have been warmly received
by everyone I've met. The parish has one church located
in the north of the city and I live next door to it
with the local primary school behind the house. All
in all a fairly compact setup unlike Fr. Brendan who
has to negotiate his way to Carrickroe, Clara and Ballyosion,
as well as Glennan & Corracrin. I had originally
thought that I would have two parishes to serve but
thankfully I've got away from that model after seven
years in Donagh & Truagh! Invercargill has a population
of about 50,000 with only perhaps 10 to 12% catholic
divided between four parishes. The other priests in
the city have made me most welcome since I arrived.
Many of the parishioners have Irish ancestory and names
like O' Connor, Casey, Hughes, Walsh, Prendergast, Flannery,
O' Neill, to name a few, are quite common. The Irish
accent is very popular but I think it's my North Monaghan
sayings that they really love!! This first week has
allowed me to find my way around the parish and the
wider area of Invercargill and I've also taken the short
drive further south to the wee town of Bluff - next
stop the South Pole! Anyway for the moment that's about
all - I have a busy parish to run so can't hang around
here all day. Best wishes to you all and thanks again
for all your prayers and kindness.
Regards
to Fr. Brendan.
