PARISH STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM 2016 Our Stewardship Program continues this week as we focus on how

Our Parish Community values engagement. Some of our parishioners will speak at Masses in St Peter’s over

the weekend and will share with us the importance of our parish in

their lives. They will discuss their own experiences and encourage

us all to be actively involved in parish life by joining and

participating in our parish groups and ministries. We thank them

for sharing their stories. Fr Michael, will be in St Paul’s & St

Catherine’s speaking about the significance of how our parishes

comes together as a community to celebrate the Eucharist. PARISH INFORMATION MEETING

All parishioners are reminded of our Parish Information Meetings

this coming week: Tuesday,14th June at 12noon in St Paul’s

Church or Thursday,16th June at 7.30pm in St Peter’s Church.

The Parish Information Meeting is the key meeting of our Program.

We will gather as a parish community to celebrate our

achievements and plan for the future. Light refreshments will also

be provided. If you have not already accepted, please complete the

RSVP cards available at all Masses over the weekend.

Reflection: How easy, and how human, it is to judge people around us – consciously or unconsciously. We

do it each and every moment of each and every day. In fact, Princeton psychologists discovered it takes a

tenth of a second to form an impression of a stranger from their face. And trustworthiness is the trait

which people judge first.

Simon and Jesus’ instant reactions to the ‘sinful’ woman, likely a prostitute, could not have been farther

apart. Simon’s reaction reminds me of the school yard taunt – “it takes one, to know one”. Simon has not, or

will not, face his own human frailties and in refusing to do so, lifts himself up by putting others down.

Jesus, on the other hand, the one without sin, applauds the woman’s grace to seek forgiveness and does not

so much as flinch from her touch.

Every one of us, even the saints, have pasts. Jesus’ actions remind us that no matter the bad we have

caused, we are not locked in to always being shunned, condemned or treated badly. Nothing is too large for

God’s mercy to deal with, when we ask for it.

The Princeton research made me also consider our current election campaign – imagine the money that

could be redirected to help those in need, like the woman in today’s gospel, if it only ran for one tenth of a

second! Matt Lovegrove—Pastoral Leadership Team

STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM PRAYER

Lord, we thank you for calling us to be

your Church. Through our Baptism we are called

to service and to witness. In the Eucharist we

sustain and strengthen that call.

By serving others we follow your example and

proclaim our beliefs.

By our Christian generosity we demonstrate our

love and care. Lord, help us always to worship

you as you deserve, to grow in faith and

service and to give without counting the cost.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Trinity Refugee Outreach (TRO) raised $2,500 last Sunday by hosting a soup & roll luncheon at St Peter’s. This will be forwarded to THE ‘BRIGIDINE ASYLUM SEEKERS PROJECT’ (BASP).

ELEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINDARY TIME (YEAR C)

Gospel: Luke 7: 36, 8: 3 One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to a meal. When he arrived at the Pharisee’s house and took his place at table, a woman

came in, who had a bad name in the town. She had heard he was dining with the Pharisee and had brought with her an alabaster

jar of ointment. She waited behind him at his feet, weeping, and her tears fell on his feet, and she wiped them away with her

hair; then she covered his feet with kisses and anointed them with the ointment.

When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, ‘If this man were a prophet, he would know who this woman

is that is touching him and what a bad name she has.’ Then Jesus took him up and said, ‘Simon, I have something to say to you.’

‘Speak, Master,’ was the reply. ‘There was once a creditor who had two men in his debt; one owed him five hundred denarii, the

other fifty. They were unable to pay, so he pardoned them both. Which of them will love him more?’ ‘The one who was pardoned

more, I suppose,’ answered Simon. Jesus said, ‘You are right.’

Then he turned to the woman. ‘Simon,’ he said, ‘you see this woman? I came into your house, and you poured no water over my

feet, but she has poured out her tears over my feet and wiped them away with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but she has been

covering my feet with kisses ever since I came in. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with

ointment. For this reason I tell you that her sins, her many sins, must have been forgiven her, or she would not have shown

such great love. It is the man who is forgiven little who shows little love.’ Then he said to her, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ Those who were with him at

table began to say to themselves, ‘Who is this man, that he even forgives sins?’ But he said to the woman, ‘Your faith has saved you; go in peace.’

1 Month Remembrance

1st Anniversary occurring at this time:

A grey, wet, winter afternoon turned into a bright sunny afternoon in the McKenna Centre last Saturday. 70 people enjoyed great toe-tapping entertainment by the delightful Pacific Belles. This was supplemented with a festive setting and a great afternoon tea. It was wonderful to see the communities of Holy Trinity coming together assisting with the distribution of afternoon tea and cleaning up afterwards. Heartfelt thanks to Fr Michael for turning on the heaters well in advance and placing the urns in position and turning them on so that the water was boiling when required. Sincere thanks must go to Sr Delia, not only for her amazing poster, (which the Belles were absolutely delighted with and asked to take one with them for their office), also for assisting the group, by pressing the 'go and stop buttons on the i-pad. Thank you to everyone who attended and who made it such a wonderful day. We made a small profit of $46 –this has been donated to the BASP.

PACIFIC BELLES—THANK YOU!
