From the Pastors Desk

changed a life. I love hearing those moments a life was

changed because of prayers answered and faith
restored. These are the miracle stories as miraculous
as any and they are all life-saving as well as life giving
just because we welcomed Christ to our stories and
events and he sat at our table.

Dear Parish Family,

As you read this I will be sitting at a wedding reception
in Hobart (Saturday evening) celebrating in joy the
joining of John and Theresa in matrimony or getting
ready to baptise (Sunday morning) a little miracle, in
Layla Louise. I am excited about both although I have
been keeping tabs on the weather in Hobart and I am
probably not looking forward as much to that
experience. I have very carefully gone through my
wardrobe to pick out my thickest jumper and warmest
coat!

Have a great week,

Fr Greg
Soup Kitchen
Thank you to all our generous parishioners who
provided soup and other items for our Soup Kitchen.

In November 2013 the dad of the little miracle,

Brendan fell from a moving car: thankfully the car was
only travelling at 60kms and along a dirt road.
Brendan hit the road and suffered some very serious
damage to the back of his head. It was noted that it
could have been worse, at the time however it was
hard to see how that was possible. He was not
expected to live. He did live and as each milestone
was passed the doctors, not wanting to give false
hope, would rattle of the chances of recovery: 5%
chance of living, 5% chance of waking from his coma,
5% chance of not being in a vegetative state, 5%
chance of no residual damage, 5% chance of going
back to work and a normal life. He has defied the
odds!

We are in need of care packs and non-perishable

foods and would be most grateful if you could provide
them to us over the coming months. Items can be left
in the church or brought to the Parish office.

Brendans Grandmother was present at the

Beatification of Mary MacKillop in Rome and returned
from that event with a miraculous medal celebrating
the Beatification but also blessed by the Pope. That
medal sat on Brendans chest throughout the most
critical part of his recovery. The doctors and nurses
were very careful to remove the medal during medical
procedures but equally careful to replace it when they
had finished. A nurse would always stand to one side
holding the medal so that it didnt get lost. Jenna too
has had her medical issues and was told that it was
unlikely that she would become a mum. Much prayer
later Brendan has made a full recovery and together
with his partner Jenna have now welcomed Layla
Louise who will be baptised this coming Sunday. You
might in your generosity pray for them as a family in
faith during your Mass time this weekend.

The Soup Kitchen will remain a weekly commitment

by our Church for the foreseeable future. Please notify
those you know who may be in need. Many thanks.

Rosters
Rosters for June and July are now available from the
rear of the Church.

Ministers of Communion (Special

Ministers)
Extra-ordinary Ministers of Communion (Special
Ministers) are invited to a meeting on Tuesday 2nd
June in Forster Church at 7pm.

Readers

As I move around our community I hear so many of

your miraculous events, some as dramatic as
Brendans but all of equal importance in your family
and your faith life. Sometimes our most important
miracle is our ability to simply live, to get up in the
morning and to brush our teeth. I love hearing the
stories of families reunited after a long separation, of
forgiveness and reconciliation. I love hearing the if it
hadnt been for stories, the split second decision that

Readers are invited to a meeting on Thursday 11th

Longing for light, we wait in darkness.

Longing for truth, we turn to you.

Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has power to save us
Make us your living voice. (Chorus)

Longing for food, many are hungry.

Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us your bread, broken for others,

Longing for shelter people are homeless.

Longing for warmth, many are cold.

Many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another,
Making your kingdom come. (Chorus)

The Churchs social teaching touches upon almost

every area of our collective contemporary life. Every
human person needs to have their rights protected
and be given the opportunity to grow in freedom,
dignity and love. The Parish Social Justice Group has
recently supported the following activities and
encourages all people to seek opportunities to
embrace the message of the gospel in the local
community:

On Palm Sunday 24 people of all faiths gathered at

the Peace Pole beside Wallis Lake in Lone Pine
Memorial Park, Tuncurry, for a twilight vigil. Hosted
by Great Lakes Rural Australians for Refugees, this
community event was an opportunity to remember
all asylum seekers still held in detention by the
Australian Government and reflect on a more
humane policy for people suffering persecution and
exclusion.
On Saturday 11 April Great Lakes Rural Australians
for Refugees hosted a Community Shared Dinner in
the Parish Hall to welcome four Burmese Rohynga
men, who were staying with a local family. These
men, from one of the most persecuted minorities in
the world, enjoyed sharing the meal and also spent
time learning skills at the Wallis Lake Mens Shed. In
the Gospel message, Matthew 25:35, I was a
stranger and you welcomed me... we learn that
Christ will consider done to himself the kind of
treatment that is reserved to any human person, in
particular, to the least among them, the stranger.

Parish Social Justice Group Activities

The Dignity of the Human Person - God has imprinted
his own image and likeness on human beings (cf.
Gen 1:26), conferring on them an incomparable
dignity ... In effect beyond the rights which one
acquires by one's own work, there exist rights which
do not correspond to any work performed, but which
flow from one's essential dignity as a person. John
Paul II, Centesimus Annus, 1991, #11

The local social justice discussion group creates

opportunities for interested people to share ideas and
respond to the social justice challenges of our
time. The Parish Social Justice Group is open to the
community and all are invited to attend the next
meeting
on
Wednesday
27th
May
at
5:30pm to 6:45pm in the Parish Hall Meeting Room,
Forster. Come along and bring a friend.

The Church sees in men and women, in every person,

the living image of God himself. This image finds, and
must always find anew, an ever deeper and fuller
unfolding of itself in the mystery of Christ, the Perfect
Image of God, the One who reveals God to the human
person ... The whole of the Church's social doctrine, in
fact, develops from the principle that affirms the
inviolable dignity of the human person. Compendium
of the Social Doctrine of the Church par. 105, 107

Ecumenical Pentecost Service - Today

A Pentecost service will be held today, May 24th at
6pm at the Salvation Army Church in Tuncurry. Come

among the people of the Kingdom of God -followers of
Jesus. It will also be an opportunity to meet the new
High School Chaplains. All parishioners are invited to
bring a plate to share on the supper table.

Human Dignity: Recognises the sacredness of life and the dignity of

each individual human person as inviolable

disadvantaged and marginalised, has reasonable
