From the Pastors Desk
This past week has contnued to show the tragedy
that is part of contemporary life, brought to our
awareness through the phenomenon of modern
communicatons technology. In one sense, the week
just gone has been no diferent to the weeks that
went before it, nor, I would suggest, will it be any
diferent to the weeks that are yet to come.
As Christans we are called to be aware of what is
happening in the world, to pray for Gods guidance for
those in difculty, but also to take acton where we
can to address these concernsalleviatng those
tragedies we can by whatever lawful means we can.
The difculty ofen arises, however, when our
contemporary media focus only on those things that
they deem to be important (ofen stemming from
their, or someone elses, partcular focus of atenton).
We can easily be distracted by reports of violence
and terror from other issues that are equallyor
moredeserving of our atenton and our eforts as
Christans.
For example, the contnued tragedy of the Ebola
epidemic in parts of Africa really didnt rate a menton
in mainstream media untl a westerner (a US citzen)
was diagnosed with the virus and subsequently died.
Much of the subsequent coverage in the US media has
focussed on the supposed failures of public health
systems in the US and what steps might be taken to
ensure that no further deaths in the US occur. It
seems to escape the atenton of much of the
mainstream media that the death toll in Africa is
rapidly approaching the 5,000 mark.
Or again, how many people in Australia are aware that
during this past week there was (yet) another
Aboriginal death in custody? Almost twenty fve years
afer a Royal Commission into these occurrences, they
stll take place on an alarmingly regular basis. They
shouldnt happen at all, and yet
As Christans we are called to be people for whom
events such as these two (and the many others that
take place) are not simply minor stories on the nightly
news, but issues that have a real and legitmate
demand for our atentonand our acton.
This demand comes not for any politcal or radical
agenda but simply because we have been redeemed
by the life, death and resurrecton of Jesus Christ, and
having received that great gif, are challenged to live
our lives in that same light. If that makes me a radical
then so be it!
Untl next week

The names of those who you would like included in
prayers for All Souls Day can be placed in the
Remembrance Book at the rear of the church.

Childrens Liturgy of the Word
The Family Ministry commitee of the Catholic Parish
of Forster Tuncurry are introducing a monthly
Childrens Liturgy of the Word. The Childrens liturgy
will run during the usual 9am Mass service on the
1st Sunday of the month. Children 4-12yrs invited to
come along and learn about God and have some fun!

The frst Children's Liturgy of the Word will be on
the 2nd November 2014. Bring along your children or
Grandchildren to the 9am Mass service at the
Forster Church so they can be a part of this great new
program. Hope to see you there.
St Vincent de Paul Society
The St Vincent de Paul Conference would like to
acknowledge the contributon made by the Minnie
Vinnies Conference made up of the students from
Holy Name Primary School. Their eforts in fundraising
for the recent Winter Appeal raised an amazing
$734.80. The Children conducted a pyjama day and a
blanket rafe which was kindly made and donated by
Ms Elizabeth Teasey. A great efort by these inspiring
young children.
Its Not Over til its Over
My recent columns enttled Are you being served?
and The Church is not a convenience store elicited
quite a large number of email and calls from readers,
many citng other examples of unfortunate
consumerist behaviours with regards to Mass.

A few correspondents mentoned the practce of
people joining the communion procession, receiving
communion and immediatelyor very shortly afer
walking out of the church. The impression this gives,
said one person, is that these people got what they
came for so there is no need for them to stay around
any longer.

Some Catholics dont seem to be phased by people
leaving early because they are accustomed to it, but
visitors and new Catholics fnd it disconcertng
because it does not happen in other Churches (except
perhaps with the Orthodox where the liturgy lasts
around three hours).

The practse is probably a hangover from pre-Second
Vatcan Council days when ones Mass obligaton was
met as long as one was present for the ofertory, the
consecraton and the priests communion.

Hopefully we have grown out of such legalistc
behaviours and have a beter understanding of why
and how we gather for worship as a community of
faith.

It is considered to be totally socially unacceptable for
someone to get up and leave a dinner party as soon as
they had fnished without any thank-yous or farewells.
Walking out before Mass has ended is no less bad-
mannered. For a start, there are jobs to be done when
Mass is overtasks like closing windows and tdying
up.

Those who leave early shriek their responsibility as
members of the parish community.

Besides being socially unacceptable, those who leave
immediately afer communion absent themselves
from the last of the four parts of the Massthe
Concluding Rite. The Concluding Rite is the shortest
and simplest part of the Mass. According to the
General Instructon of the Roman Missal, it consists of:
brief announcements (if necessary), the priests
greetng and blessing, the dismissal of the people, and
the reverencing of the altar by their priest, deacon
and other ministers. (#90)

The fact that the term Mass is derived from the
dismissal (the Latn ite Missa est) suggests that this
part of the Mass is important. The dismissal is not just
a way to end the celebraton or to say farewell to
those who have gathered, although both of these are
included.

As the General Instructon puts it, the dismissal of the
assembly sends us out so that each may go back to
doing good works, praising and blessing God. (#90)

The Concluding Rites of the Mass, though brief,
remind us that we are all expected to do our part in
carrying on Christs mission of proclaiming Gods word
and of serving others. The announcements following
the Prayer afer Communion ofer the assembly
opportunites for living out the commitment which
Eucharist entails during the coming week, for
example, assistng at the food pantry for the needy,
gathering for evening prayer on Wednesday, ofering
transport for the elderly, visitng the sick and
housebound.

Those who leave early walk away from all of this.

Parish Social Justice Group
On 24 September four people from the Forster
Tuncurry Parish Social Justce Group discussed Social
Justce for the Earth and the challenges of climate
change. In a news item that day Ban-Ki
Moon, General Secretary of the United Natons, stated
that "Climate change is humanity's biggest threat".

Pope Francis in his 2013 Evangelii Gaudium about the
Church's social doctrine states "An authentc faith -
which is never comfortable or completely personal -
always involves a deep desire to change the world, to
transmit values, to leave this Earth somehow beter
than when we found it. We love this magnifcent
planet on which God has put us, and we love the
human family which dwells here, with all its tragedies
and struggles, its hopes and aspiratons, its strengths
and weaknesses....All Christans, their pastors
included, are called to show concern for the building
of a beter world. This is essental, for the Church's
social thought is primarily positve: it ofers
proprosals, it works for change and in this sense it
constantly points to the hope born of the loving heart
of Jesus Christ".

The Earth is God's creaton, intended for all to use,
enjoy and look afer. Therefore it is unacceptable for
some inhabitants to take more than they need while
others lack the most basic necessites. There
is increasing evidence that the world faces an
environmental crisis. Sustainable development is one
way of looking afer the Earth over long periods of
tme. It means the Earth's resources are used with
future needs always in mind. Human beings have a
unique dignity and are stewards of creaton. They
must therefore care for the Earth, each other and
other creatures.

The Social Justce Group is open to the community
and all are invited to the next discussion meetng
on Wednesday 29th October at 5:30pm in the Parish
Hall Meetng Room, Forster.
