IN THE CARE OF THE AUGUSTINIANS
Readings for next week: 17 August: Isaiah 56:1, 6-7 Romans 11:13-15, 29-32 Matthew 15:21-28
St Kieran’s, Manly Vale
GOSPEL SYMBOLS AND IMAGES To pray gentle breeze
Just as God’s word at creation drew order out of the watery chaos, so does the word of Jesus calm the storm. He has the mastery of the Creator over the elements of nature. Peter, on the other hand, symbolises our impetuous humanity, leaping out into the unknown and then becoming afraid and failing. But help is available in the person of Jesus who truly is the Son of God.
19th Sunday ordinary time 10 August 2014

Catholics were saddened during the week
with the news of the death of Cardinal
Edward Clancy.
Pope Francis has sent his condolences to
Australian Catholics on the death of the
former archbishop of Sydney(1983-2001).
Pope Francis said he was saddened to
learn of Cardinal Clancy's death and
offered his "heartfelt condolences,
together with the assurance of my prayers".
"I join you in commending the late
Cardinal's soul to God the Father of mercies,
with gratitude for his years of episcopal
ministry and his wise pastoral leadership in
the Archdiocese of Sydney," the Pope said.
The funeral Mass for Cardinal Clancy was
celebrated Saturday Aug 9th and he was laid
to rest in the crypt of St Mary’s Cathedral.

Do you have some parish news to share?
We’d love to publish it in our next edition of “In Touch”. Please email anything of interest to: [email protected] or drop into the parish office during office hours. The next In Touch mailout folding will be on Saturday 30th August in the parish centre at 9am.
GIFT UPDATE We are happy to report that the GIFT program continues to be a great success. On Monday 28 July, the GIFT team coordinated a group of senior boys from St Augustine’s College. The boys produced 62 meals (each providing two hearty serves) of a delicious winter bolognaise. These meals will go to the LINK Community program which supports people in need on the Northern Beaches. As you can see from the photos, the boys worked hard all evening but still had a great time. We were so impressed by how polite and helpful all of the boys were, not to mention how competent they are in the kitchen – it was a pleasure to work with them!

Question of the Week
“When they saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified.” Matthew 14:26
At school: When I am afraid, and don’t understand, what if I hold hands with Jesus!
At work or study: What belief of my faith makes me anxious or afraid? Think
about it! In my family life: How do we talk about scripture stories to really learn from them?
Discipleship this week!
Have a panel discussion at teatime. Is this story about walking on water
or something else?
Just let the ideas flow.
Recent weeks have seen a number of
significant events both in the parish
and the Augustinian community. The
Augustinians convened their
Provincial Chapter and elected their
new Provincial Council and drew up
pastoral plans for the coming four year new period. A
photograph from the Chapter shows the way the Province has
become very representative of the Asian community in this
country as well.
At our Parish Assembly on July 20th new members were nominated to our Parish Council, in the persons of
Tim Boys, Larry McKittrick and Andrea Hogan. We again congratulate our new councillors as they prepare
for their first Council meeting this coming week and are confident they will make a great contribution to
parish life in the time ahead.
Looking ahead we hope that the proposed Parish Picnic on Sunday August 31st will be blessed with fine
weather and be well supported by parish families. It should provide a good opportunity for some relaxed
time together as a community away from regular church functions.
From Fr. Brian
From St. Augustine:
O Lord, my God, pay heed to my prayer. Look with
mercy on my desire, which is not concerned with myself
alone but with my neighbour’s good as well
Confessions 11, 2
A donation envelope for the first Charitable Works Fund (CWF) collection for this financial
year should be attached to this bulletin, if not envelopes are always available in the Church
foyer. The CWF is a centralized fund for the support of charitable and pastoral activities of
the Diocese that extend beyond the limits of any single parish. The funds are raised by
bequests, public donations and parish quotas. There are three CWF collections in the parish
each year to enable us to raise funds towards our quota. Donations to the CWF are fully tax deductible. The
money raised by the CWF is used to support many charitable organizations in the Diocese including the
Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, St Lucy’s School, St Edmond’s School, Ephphata Centre and Centrecare
Broken Bay.
Can you spare 1-2 hours a week with
our elderly residents?
We are reaching out to our community
to share some of their experiences, skills
and kindness to increase the variety of
activities and interest in their day.
Should you wish to get involved we would love to hear from
you!
