2ND JULY 2017
THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

CATHOLIC MISSIONS APPEAL 2017.
Ministry Matters
Following the latest Planned Giving Presentation a few weeks ago, it had been brought to my attention that we have had six new commitments from the Parish, and there have been about 13 Pledge Forms where the financial commitment has been increased. Thank you.
I want to take this opportunity to thank those people who have endeavoured to make a difference in their commitment to the life of our parish, and I am sure that with this contribution, we will be able to do a little bit in supporting the life of the parish. So, again, thank you. But that was just 19 Pledge Forms that had been received where a difference has been noted. Where are the others?
I am sure that there had been enough forms printed that people within the parish could have completed one of those forms and endeavoured to make a difference in the life of our parish. So, where are they? Where are the Forms that will bolster the financial situation so that we can continue to live and work and play as a faith community. Please remember that it is not too late. There are still forms available in the Churches, and everyone has an opportunity to complete one of these forms and make a difference for the life of our Parish. There are so many hopes and dreams contained within the parish, and it is only by the on-going support of everyone who is a member of the parish that such hopes and dreams can be realised. So, where are they? Where are the forms that people have taken and hopefully completed so that we can see a significant increase in the income of our parish. Complete your form, return it to the Parish and make a difference by your own Time, your Talent and particularly the Treasure that God has given to you. Give of yourselves and make a difference for the Kingdom of God.
TIME, TALENT AND TREASURE,
As we reflect on the giftedness of Treasure, it is also appropriate to reflect upon our Time and the Talents and how we share them with our own community. Like so many busy people today, we really have no time available to give, and because we have no time to give, it is giving of our precious time that can make all the difference. So give of your Time, and give of your Talent and that can make all the difference. God Bless Fr John.

AN INVITATION TO YOUNG WOMEN
DISCERNING A VOCATION TO
CONSECRATED LIFE
The promotions of vocations to consecrated life is essential if we are to have the leaders we will need in the the Church in the future. I firmly believe that young women are committed to the process of
discernment and need to be encouraged to embark on the journey of following Christ as Religious Sisters.
I would therefore like to extend an invitation to young women who may be interested in discerning a religious vocation to join Bishop Ken Howl for an evening meal and informal discussion a Wynberg. The meal will be at 790 Brunswick Street, New Farm, on Thursday, 20 July 2017 beginning at 6.30pm.
Please send names directly to Sr Melissa Dwyer at Vocations Brisbane, by email at:
vocations@bne.catholic.net.au or post to GPO Box 282, Brisbane, QLD 4001.

Please note there will be no Weekday Masses at St Bernardine’s as Fr John will be away on Retreat. Masses a St Paul de Chartres will be available.

ST PAUL de CHARTRES.
St Bernardine’s Parish Community Congratulates
Sr Teresa Rose Thi Nhung TRAN
Sr Theresa Monica Thi Loc NGUYEN and
Sr Mary Veronica Thi Vuong STRAN.
As they have taken The Religious First Profession. May God continue to Bless and guide them in the Ministry of Love and Service

“Please pray for me” Slip.
At masses last weekend we welcomed and introduced the candidates (and their families) who will be receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation later this year. Each candidate was called by name as they handed their slip to Fr John. The slip of paper has a bit of information about them with a request to pray for them as they prepare for their Confirmation. We invite all parishioners to “take” a candidate home ie. a “please pray for me slip, and hold them and their family in prayer during this time of preparation. All the slips are displayed in the church. Please return the slips by 30th July. Thank You

Blue Card Applications and Renewals.
We really appreciate the wonderful parish involvement in following the Blue Card Regulations.
However, please remember to personally hand in your application to the parish office, as we need to Sight the supporting documentation before it is sent.
Also if you are renewing your Blue Card, please ensure that you give the parish a copy of your letter when you receive your new/renewed Blue Card, so we can keep a copy and update our records.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Kelly at the Parish Office on 38847600.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
TO PREISTHOOD AND RELIGIOUS LIFE.
+
May God inspire our young men and women giving them the gift of understanding to discern their service in the Church.
+
May God call them to consider their own ministry through the priesthood, diaconate, or consecrated life, and gift them with courage to follow His call. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN. +

BAPTISM CELEBRATIONS.

WHATS ON IN THE PARISH

The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven, (all bow)
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
