From the Pastors Desk
Today in Rome, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, will
beatfy one of his predecessors, Pope Paul VI, who
served as Supreme Pontf from June 1963 untl his
death in August 1978.

At the tme of Pauls electon, the Second Vatcan
Council had only been in session for some nine
months, yet the newly elected Pontf contnued with
his predecessors vision for aggiornamento (bringing
up to date) of the Church. It was during the pontfcate
of the soon-to-be Blessed Pope Paul VI that many of
the great documents that have infuenced the life of
the Church over the last ffy years were debated,
decided and promulgated.

Giovanni Montni, the future Paul VI, was born on the
26th September 1897 in Brescia, Italy and was
ordained as priest in 1920. During his life he witnessed
two world wars, the rise and fall of fascism in Europe,
the advent of communism, and much of the Cold War.
He saw numerous world leaders come and go, all the
while faithfully serving God in the Church. His
infuence in the life of the Church during and following
his pontfcate is manifold and contnues to be felt.

Today we join with the people of the Diocese of
Rome, and the wider Universal Church, in giving
thanks to God for the life of Blessed Pope Paul VI, for
his example of faithful Christan living, and for his
legacy in the life of the Church.

educated over 500 residents in how to grow their own
organic food.

food organically.

The Forster NC desperately needs a volunteer Garden
Co-ordinator to work the hortculturalist and Forster

identfy and garnish funds and help with organising

Assistance Required in the Parish
Love begins in the family. Only families that pray
together, stay together. Only when they learn to live
together can they learn love for one another, and
hence share this love with their neighbours also.
These were some of the guiding principles of Mother
Teresa. She was convinced that the welfare of society
was based on the sanctty of marriage and on
harmony with the family. The family is the frst and
most natural environment within which love can be
given and received. Where else, but the domestc
school of love, does an awareness of our own identty
and authentc human relatonships come from? Only
the security and mutual respect found within the
family circle can fve us the confdence that we are
unconditonally accepted, treasured and loved. Thanks
to this love we are able to recognise that we are
crated in the image and likeness of God.
