Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica:
This is the façade and interior of the
Basilica of St John Lateran, whose
official title is the Patriarchal Basilica of
the Most Holy Saviour and St John the
Baptist at the Lateran. Yes that is a
mouthful, and Yes it is very different to
St Peter’s Basilica which is the most
readily known of the Roman Basilicas.
The Lateran Basilica is the oldest of
the four major Basilicas of Rome. It is
the Cathedral Church of the Bishop of
Rome – the Pope. The Cathedra is
the symbol of the bishop. The
“cathedra”, after which we name the
church known as a “cathedral”, is the
chair of the chief teacher of the
diocese, who is the bishop. This is the
Pope’s Cathedral Church in his
primary role as Bishop of Rome. It is
considered “the mother and head of all
churches of Rome and the world”, (not
St Peter’s). It is from this cathedra that
radiates the Pope’s being the chief
shepherd and teacher of the Catholic
Church. Today’s feast celebrates the
unity of the Catholic Church across the
world. Make sure you put it on your
itinerary for your next trip to Rome!
Children's Liturgy is on this weekend as
part of the Sunday 9.30am parish Mass. All
primary school age children are welcome at
Children's Liturgy. There is now a special
focused Children’s Liturgy group for grade 4
to 6 youngsters. The parish Youth Program
facilitator, Nadine MacDonald, is organising
this. This will enable a discussion of today’s
Gospel and feast at a more engaging level
for themselves. Parents, please do read
Nadine’s note in the newsletter regarding
Children’s Liturgy Group for Children in
grade 4 – 6 on page 2.
Morning tea is also on after the Sunday
9.30am Mass. Thank you to the parents that
volunteer to make both the Children's Liturgy
and the morning tea possible. I appreciate
how busy everyone is and how you make
the time to fit this in.
The youth band is playing this Sunday
night at 6pm Mass. Engaging music that
encourages energetic participation. Come
along to this celebration of Eucharist if this is
your preference.
Privacy Laws: Parish staff will be at a training workshop on the Archdiocesan Policy
regarding Privacy Laws. In the past twelve months the government have enacted
new policy regarding Privacy Laws. The Archdiocese is keeping abreast of these
changes, and this workshop will inform us of the responsibilities and procedures the
parish needs to respect. The workshop is one of many being held around the
Archdiocese. This one is being held at 10am on Tuesday 11th November at Twelve
Apostles Hall, Yallambee Rd, Jindalee. Thanks to Marnie Niland who will be keeping
the parish office open while staff are at the training workshop on Tuesday.
The Parish Office will be closed on Friday 14th November : G20 Public Holiday
Indooroopilly Parish Finance Council: planning to meet with them Thursday evening 13 November to maintain their diligent
oversight of their parish finances. Do keep praying for a new pastor for Holy Family Parish to be appointed soon.
G20 is the news of the coming week. Attentive to this very significant meeting of the world, the wider church has some
offerings in which you might wish to participate:
G20 Prayer Vigils: Representatives of various member churches of Queensland Churches Together have organised a series
of prayer vigils to pray for those whose voices will not be heard at the G20 Leaders Summit table in Brisbane on the weekend
of November 15 & 16. The Justice & Peace Commission has been a part of this planning and preparation.
The voices of many need to be heard – child workers, trafficked women, Indigenous peoples, refugees, those living with
hunger and poverty, those without work, Pacific Islanders whose homes are being inundated by rising seas and many more.
You are welcome to join with other Christians to pray for those excluded from the Leaders Summit table at the following vigils:
There was one last Friday night 7 November, at the Sherwood Uniting Church, focussing on the concerns of the earth. There
is one this coming Friday 14 November, 7pm, St Andrew’s Anglican Church, 160 Vulture St, South Brisbane focussing on the
concerns of people living in poverty globally.
Another Option: In addition, Christians will be asked to consider fasting from food or something else important to them and
praying for the needs of marginalised people and the earth from the morning of Saturday 15 November to the afternoon of
Sunday 16 November. A prayer service to mark the conclusion of this period of fasting will take place on Sunday 16 Nov at
4pm at St Francis College Chapel, 233 Milton Road, Milton (enter via Baroona Road). The prayer and information resource
and information about the proposed fast are posted on the Cathollic Justice and Peace Commission’s blog at:

Sacrament of Penance: A special thanks to the group leaders and the parents who have prepared their children for the
Sacrament of Penance. Five celebrations of the Second Rite of Penance were held this week to sacramentally celebrate
God’s forgiveness in the lives of these parishioners. Thanks also to the parish volunteers at each of these ceremonies
including the teachers from both our parish schools. Organists and soloists were there as well at each of these celebrations.
We appreciate your involvement, and the giving up of your time to be with us at this special time. A very special word of
gratitude to Vanessa Sullivan, our parish Sacramental Co-ordinator (pro bono), who gets us all organised, and runs the
program smoothly and efficiently.
Break Open the Word for 2015: Begins First Sunday of Advent Sunday 30 November. Copies are now available for $10
after each Mass, or at the parish office. (please refer to note on page 3)
People asking Parishioners for assistance: St Vincent de Paul take great care for those in need in our district. Those who
regularly seek help know the procedure of how to get assistance from SVdP - they are to phone the SVdP helpline on 3010
1096. The recurring visitors who turn up at church should be advised to call SVdP. Please do not be pressured into offering
any money or other assistance. There is a regularity of the habits of some visitors to turn up to either church before or after
Mass in order to seek financial gain. If anyone should become obstreperous, or if you feel threatened, simply advise the
person that you will phone the police. People in genuine cases of need are to phone St Vincent de Paul on 3010 1096.
APPRECIATION AND INVITATION FROM FR CHUKWUDI CHINAKA
I would like to use this medium to thank you all for your immense support to me on my journey towards the Catholic
Priesthood. I want to thank most especially those parishioners and groups who sent me their best wishes and prayers while I
was in Nigeria for my Ordination. I received them with joy and did pray for you all at my first Mass. I really know how much
most of you would have loved to be there. It was a great time and you were all with me in spirit. May God continue to bless
you all for me.
I have set aside the 6pm Mass on Saturday the 15th of November at St Mary’s Ipswich as a Mass of Thanksgiving for
my Ordination and to pray for all those who have been part of my journey in this country. I invite all those who can, to please
join me for that Mass and the light supper afterwards. If you are able to come, let us know at [email protected] or
3281 2133. It will be greatly appreciated if you can bring a plate and a bottle of something to share.

PARISH YOUTH NEWS .......
Parish Youth Ministry Team Meeting: Wednesday 19 November, 7.30pm, Parish Office Corinda: We are delighted to
announce the formation of our new Parish Youth Ministry Team to be led by Fr Gerry and the Youth Programme Facilitator,
Nadine McDonald. We welcome David Thrum, Elizabeth Trad, Michael Doherty, Trish Blumke, and Kerry Brown who have
generously agreed to volunteer their time to this important ministry. We look forward to working with this team to develop a
youth programme in our parish. If you are interested in becoming part of the team, or would like to contribute ideas or anything
else, please contact Nadine McDonald on [email protected]
Youth Pizza Nights: We will be holding a weekly Pizza Night for Youth during Advent following the Sunday night Mass at
Christ the King. The dates for the Pizza Nights are 30 November, 7, 14 & 21 December. All young people are invited and
encouraged to attend, particularly young adults 18-35yrs, and high school aged youth. We will be providing pizza and soft
drinks as well as friendly conversation! We look forward to seeing you there. If you would like further information, please
contact Nadine McDonald on 0404 221 144 or at [email protected]
Children’s Liturgy Group for Children in Grade 4 - 6 has commenced in our parish. We encourage children who have
completed the Sacramental Program to participate in order to grow their faith. To facilitate this new group, we require group
leaders to present the material to the children and facilitate the discussion. We are looking for members of the parish who
would be interested in helping in this ministry at the Sunday 9.30am Mass at Christ the King. The parish would provide all
teaching materials. We aim to recruit enough leaders so that each leader would have 1 or 2 sessions each school term, so the
time commitment would not be huge. If you are interested in helping out with this valuable ministry, or know someone who
might, or if you would like to share any thoughts or ideas or questions, please contact Nadine McDonald, the Parish Youth
Programme Facilitator, on 0404 221 144 or at [email protected]

LITURGY SNIPPET: Sacrament of Penance
In this past week, the children in our parish Sacramental
Program celebrated the Sacrament of Penance for the first time.
The Sacrament of Penance is often referred to as
“Reconciliation”. In the past, it was usually called “Confession”.
These different titles are all aspects of the meaning of the
Sacrament. The Sacrament of Penance is a celebration of God’s
mercy and love.
While there are three forms of the celebration of the Sacrament,
the children celebrated the “Second Rite of Reconciliation”. In
this form the community gathers for a celebration of the Word,
an examination of conscience, followed by
a call to repentance. Private confession
and reconciliation follow. The Rite
concludes with a short thanksgiving and a
blessing and dismissal. We, as a parish,
will have the opportunity to celebrate this
form of the Sacrament in the week prior
to Christmas.
