Family gatherings inevitably lead in to a series
of ‘remember when …’ The sharing of stories
leads to a greater understanding and
deepening of the bond that already exists
between people. In sharing our stories we
cement the duty of care we have for others.
Dietrich Bonhoffer Letters and Papers from Prison wrote: “The table
fellowship of Christians implies obligation. It is our daily bread that
we eat, not my own. We share our bread. Thus we are firmly bound
to one another not only in the Spirit but in our whole physical
being. The one bread that is given to our fellowship links us
together in a firm covenant. Now none dares go hungry as long as
another has bread, and anyone who breaks this fellowship of the
physical life also breaks the fellowship of the Sprit.”
There is an old saying: ‘you are what you eat!’ Perhaps you have had
the depressing experience of looking into a mirror and discovering
that there is more to you than there has ever been. And if you
have been eating large amount of junk food, perhaps you are
becoming increasingly more like junk!
Today’s feast challenges us to become what we eat at eucharist—
’The Body of Christ’. ‘Amen!’ Are we becoming more and more the
living flesh and blood of Christ in a spirituality starving world?

The thought of retirement was tough. Fr Ray went from a large parish family one day to being on his own the next. He started out in 1962 with his first parish at Mt Gravatt. Along the way he has had some great opportunities to share, serve and teach God’s word. But age catches up with all of us and after 48yrs he decided to retire from full time service. Fr Ray is grateful for the support he has in building a comfortable new life. Knowing he still has the respect and care of his community means the world to him.
Your gift to the Annual Catholic Campaign will support retired priests like Fr Ray who have given their lives to serving the
communities of South East Queensland. Please show you care with a gift to the Annual Catholic Campaign. www.catholiccampaign.com.au

1. Deep in Christ I pray you know …
The power He can give! May your hidden self grow strong! And may you live ...
Strong in faith and built on love ... Until you know:
How high and long, how wide and deep
The fullness of God.

The Father we serve, Fill your mind that you may see, Deep in your heart …
What hope his call now holds for you: His promise true;
To fill your heart with power to live
The fullness of God.

To live life anew! Let your heart be drawn to Him; Let Christ renew the hope in you
To grow into …

The fullness of God! © CHE used with permission WOL Lic.311

OUR MISSION PRAYER
We, the St Ignatius community, are called to live the good news. We pray that we become the people that Jesus Christ called us to be. We pray that we know the Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit
through knowing Jesus in prayer, scripture and liturgy. We pray that we give hope to others by a practical, personal kindness, affirming each person's dignity, worth and destiny in Christ. May we live out this mission of our Christian vocation in the spirit of St. Ignatius.
Over the coming weeks, our parish, along with every parish and school in the Archdiocese, will be participating in the Annual Catholic Campaign. Because I believe that the Annual Catholic Campaign is so important for the work of the Church and our parish family, I
encourage you to please begin considering how you can support the important ministries of the Church.
The Annual Catholic Campaign provides resources for ministries in education, formation and social services.
In recent years we have been blessed with a full seminary. The number of men discerning their vocation to priesthood certainly provides hope for our aging priest population. We have 32 men studying at Banyo. However, seminarian education is not free. Your gifts to the
Annual Catholic Campaign will support the formation of men who will be your future priests.
Your gifts to the Campaign will also provide a brighter future for our young people. You can make a difference to the life of a child by providing them the gift of a Catholic education. The Annual Catholic Campaign supports a new fund that breaks down financial barriers and gives children who would otherwise not afford it, the chance of a Catholic education. Whilst giving to the parish offertory is the primary responsibility for each of us, the Campaign supports ministries that our parish alone could not provide. By sharing a financial gift, you can touch the lives of thousands of people in South East Queensland who are supported
through programs that teach, heal, support, nurture and feed. You will make a difference.
As you hear about the ministries supported by the Campaign over the next weeks, please consider making a regular monthly gift. This way you will be able to increase the impact of your generosity. Regular giving allows ministries to plan ahead and grow knowing that there are
people willing and committed to making ongoing contributions.
Over the weeks to come we will learn more about the great work of the ministries supported by the Campaign.
Please join me, along with Archbishop Mark Coleridge, in praying for the success of the Annual Catholic Campaign. May God bless you for
your support of our parish and our Church across South East Queensland.
In Christ, Fr Peter B. Quin sj, PP.
