Message From Fr. Cathal Deery:
Since I was last
in contact I have had a few baptisms and had my first
funeral last week. Both are very similar to Ireland
with a few differences where funerals are concerned.
I've done a bit of traveling to various places - Dunedin,
the cathedral city of the diocese, a city of more than
100,000 people about a three hour drive from here. It's
on the east coast and has many fine attractions. I also
spent two days in a very scenic area called the Catlins
and stayed along the coast at a place called Nugget
Point. Two weeks ago I had a tour around western southland
which is a beautiful part of the south island. There
is just one big scattered parish in this area with four
churches and a combined Sunday congregation of less
than 100 people. I've never yet celebrated a Sunday
mass for just five people but that's the norm in one
of these churches! Over the next few weeks I will return
to Dunedin and then in early November I plan to spend
some time in Queenstown, one of the most popular tourist
areas of New Zealand.
Today (Tuesday)
I was invited to speak to a local Rotary Club in the
city and so I gave them something on the history of
Ireland. They seemed to like it but they looked a bit
lost when I began my presentation in Irish. Sensing
their unease I switched to the Queen's English and they
began to smile!!
Preparations
are now underway for First Holy Communion which I will
celebrate with 35 children on Sunday 22nd November.
By the time you read this I will have had a meeting
with their parents in preparation for the big day. This
evening I attended a parish council meeting where many
of the same issues and problems that we have in the
Irish church were discussed - falling mass attendance,
youth, maintenance of buildings, getting more people
involved, etc.
Anyway, as you
can see, life is good and who knows, I might like it
too well here!
For
now take care, Fr. Cathal
40 Perth Street, Windsor, Invercargill 9810, New Zealand
