Quick Notes: The Prayer Journey to All Blacks victory culminated
with the nail-biting score of 8-7 in favor of New Zealand against
France in the final game of the Rugby World Cup on October 23, in Eden Park, Auckland. Bro Mel received congratulatory messages from
many participants of the journey. The parishioners of Blessed John Paul II recited the specially written prayer and rosary each Sunday starting July 31 until October 23. Other than encouraging people to pray daily for the
All Blacks victory, TawagAwit distributed the prayers to friends and strangers and posted a few in bus stops. God in the last few minutes of the final game defended New Zealand, and through the entire RWC secured
the venues and the people from violence and harm. Thank you to all, thank you Lord…Fr Sam Pulanco purchased an image of Blessed John
Paul II, patron of TawagAwit, during his trip to Rome in October. He intends to present this formally in mass in the Blessed John Paul II Mass Centre, Albany and start a novena with the image to be brought to the
homes of parishioners and TawagAwit members…Servant Leaders of
TawagAwit will hold its final quarter Business Meeting & Fellowship on November 6 in Our Lady of Lourdes Glen Eden. Among the items
in the agenda are updates on the TawagAwit Songbook and the finalization of the papers for the registration of the ministry as a
trust…Teachers in Sandals Fellowship, an affiliate ministry of
TawagAwit, will hold its Teaching Night: Recognition Event on November 18, 6pm in McLaurin Chapel, University of Auckland. Two

Vatican Notes: November 2011 General Intention: That the Eastern
Catholic Churches and their venerable traditions may be known and
esteemed as a spiritual treasure for the whole Church. Missionary
Intention: That the African continent may find strength in Christ to
pursue justice and reconciliation as set forth by the second Synod of
African Bishops... A holistic education of children and young people
must include religious education in accordance with the wishes of the
children's parents, Pope Benedict XVI told Brazil's new ambassador to the Vatican. The teaching of religion in public schools, "far from signifying
that the state assumes or imposes a specific religious creed, indicates a recognition of religion as a necessary value for the holistic formation of the
person," the pope said Oct. 31. Welcoming Almir Franco de Sa Barbuda as Brazil's new ambassador, the pope said that when the Holy See and Brazil signed an agreement in 2008 on allowing religious education in public
schools, the motivation was not to give Catholicism a special privilege, but to respond to the rights of parents to choose how their children should be educated and to give Brazil a new generation of citizens formed with a
sense of morality and ethics.... Christians need to offer migrants special
care, ranging from prayer and concrete aid to promoting policies that
uphold immigrants' rights and dignity, Pope Benedict XVI said. Modern migration represents "an unprecedented mingling of individuals and peoples, with new problems not only from the human standpoint but also
from ethical, religious and spiritual ones," he said. The influx of people from all corners of the world offers new opportunities to evangelize and to provide material and spiritual care to those in need, he said. The pope made
the comments in a message on the theme of "Migrations and New
Evangelization" for the World Day for Migrants and Refugees 2012....
Pope Benedict XVI proclaimed three saints and said their lives
demonstrated that true faith is charity in action. "These three new saints allowed themselves to be transformed by divine charity," the pope said at a canonization Mass in St. Peter's Square Oct. 23. "In different
situations and with different gifts, they loved the Lord with all their heart and they loved their neighbor as themselves, in such a way as to become models for all believers," he said. All three founded religious orders in the
19th century, working in missionary areas and on behalf of society's disadvantaged in Europe. The canonizations took place on World Mission Sunday, and the pope said their witness showed that love is at the center of
the missionary task. The new saints were: St. Guido Maria Conforti, an Italian who founded the Xaverian Foreign Missionary Society, dedicated to
the sole purpose of evangelizing non-Christians. He sent missionaries to China in 1899 and personally traveled to China in 1928 to visit the order's communities; St. Louis Guanella, the Italian founder the Servants of
Charity, the Daughters of St. Mary of Providence, and the Confraternity of St. Joseph, whose members pledge to pray for the sick and dying, and St.
Bonifacia Rodriguez Castro, a Spanish cordmaker in Salamanca who
gathered working women for spiritual encounters in her house-shop. The group became the Servants of St. Joseph, a congregation dedicated to
providing a religious and technical education to poor women and protecting them in the workplace. (All items taken from Catholic News Service)
