Parish Senior Leadership Team (SLT) - Tuesday, 28 January

Image
The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) begins its second year on Tuesday 28 January. It meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday evenings of the month to assist Fr Paul administer the Parish and continue and complete the Consultation Process, facilitated by Elizabeth O’Carrigan, to deliver Parish Mission and Vision Statements and Parish Plan in Easter Season this year. The Statements and Plan are necessary for All Saints to develop into what Pope Francis calls a “community of missionary disciples” ( Evangelii Gaudium (2013), a. 24), more able and motivated to live our shared faith authentically and share it effectively. This outcome lies at the heart of the Archdiocese of Sydney’s Mission Plan, Go Make Disciples. SLT members are Gina and Abbott Fattal, Alison and Paul Wilson, Janice Rego, John Coppola, Matthew Rathinam and Fr Paul. Please pray for them.

Policy for the sick list in the Parish Bulletin

Image
Praying for the sick is an essential work of the Church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (a. 1509) states: “‘Heal the sick’ (Mk 10:8). The Church has received this charge from the Lord and strives to carry it out by taking care of the sick as well as by accompanying them with her prayer of intercession.” Listing names of sick parishioners in the Parish Bulletin is part of this accompaniment. At the same time, the list must be up to date and not too long. To this end, those listed as sick should be either All Saints parishioners, their relatives or close friends. Names are included for four (4) Bulletins (one month). Loved ones must re-apply to the Parish Office to have the names listed for another month. This ensures that the list remains up to date and manageable. Please contact the Office if the circumstances of a listed sick person changes.
