Parish of Our Lady of Kāpiti Te Whaea Tapu o Kāpiti www.kapiti-catholic.org.nz Our Lady of Fatima - Waikanae St Patrick’s - Paraparaumu Mission Sunday - 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A - 19 October 2014. Haere mai e te whanau, Tena koutou katoa, a kia noho te Ariki ki a koutou. Welcome, family, greetings to you all. May the Lord be with you. Dear Parishioners, Anyone who has truly experienced God’s saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love. Every Christian is a missionary to the extent that he or she has encountered the love of God in Christ Jesus: we no longer say that we are “disciples” and “missionaries”, but rather that we are always “missionary disciples”. Pope Francis Back in August, in our Adult Faith Formation series, we reflected on the theme of ‘Missio’ – ‘Mission’. Sister Catherine Hannan reminded us so very beautifully and simply that compassion and mission are intimately linked. Thank you for the way you have all supported the bereaved families in our Parish recently with so many acts of compassion and sympathy, food, visits, prayer. It is heart-warming to see and hear of the many ways your practical compassion and charity makes a difference to those in need. Today, Mission Sunday, brings a further call upon our generous hearts – to support those who minister to bring the gospel to all peoples and cultures. I have invited Mike Redman and Corrie McCardle to give a short presentation on their ‘Grains of Hope’ project in which members of our Parish are supporting the Metsimothlabe Mission Station in Botswana. They will be talking at the 5.30pm Vigil Mass on Saturday night at Our Lady of Fatima Church and after the 9.30am Sunday Mass at Saint Patrick’s Church – all are welcome. With every blessing in Christ, Father Michael McCabe PASTORAL AREA ACTIVITIES THIS WEEK SUNDAY 19 OCTOBER Lambert Family Group to catch 11.05am train to Wellington to visit Te Papa for free Wearable Arts Exhibition.
