In this Election Year we should practise tolerance
and good grace, as we endure the words of politicians and the media.

words from "Why we do the things we do" - there are 75 items, tell us if you like this sort of thing.

I just wish that he didn't trust me so much."

First Things First
The initial part of the Mass (The introductory Rites) is
an important time for gathering and preparation.
The entrance song helps to open the celebration, unite
us as a body and lead our thoughts towards the mystery of God's love which we have come to celebrate. The Priest's greeting (The Lord be with you) and the congregation's response (And also with you) affirms that Christ is present in our midst.
This is a time for focusing on the importance of the
opportunity to worship that lies before us.

opportunities.
If you dont go to Mass often in the week, here are good reasons for a new habit :
St. Josephs School will be attending the 9am Mass on 5th February and there will be a Welcome Powhiri at the School at 9am on Friday 14th
February.
Sunday 16th February is a Parish/School Welcome Mass for Term 1.
On Sunday 9th February there will be a Tongan welcome at 9am for
Fr. Vince Onesi, our new Parish Priest for the Tararua Parishes. This is arranged by the local Tongan community.
This will be a great opportunity to engage with new people and reinforce a welcome to the Parish.

In 1 Corinthian we read:
"If I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as a sounding brass or a
tinkling cymbal"
So we should be gracious as well as charitable, taking actions which help others over Christmas.
