    From the Pastors Desk
    I would like to begin by thanking you all for the very
    warm welcome that I have received since I arrived in
    the parish. As with all moves there was some anxiety
    aached to my coming, but I have to say that the
    mannerinwhichIwasgreetedbothonAustraliaDay
    and last weekendalleviated that anxiety to a large
    degree.Forthatyouhavemythanks.

    I would also like to thank in a parcular way the


    army of parishioners who laboured to prepare the
    Presbytery for my arrival. Your eorts made the
    dreaded task of moving into my new home a lile
    easiertocopewith.YouwillbepleasedtoknowthatI
    have now unpacked the numerous boxes I brought
    withmefromSingleton,andhavebeguntoaddafew

    I would also like to acknowledge the eorts of those


    who arranged and organised the cuppa aer Mass
    on Australia Day. Celebrang our naonal day and
    (Connued on page 2)
    sharing the quintessenal cuppa was a great way to

    regularly check the answering machine for any
    urgent messages, please be aware that I might not

    WhileIwouldhopetokeeptoaregularscheduleof

    need to be absent from the Parish to aend to
    otherresponsibiliesIhavewiththeDiocesewhich
    will result in some conict with that schedule.
    Rather than constantly changing the schedule, it
    would be my intenon on those days to simply
    cancel the weekday Massthese changes will be

    I am always happy to meet with people who may

    Buried amid the General Instrucon of the Roman
    Missal (GIRM), the large set of direcons that tell us
    how Mass is to be celebrated in some detail, is a
    remarkableand daunngunderstanding of the
    signicance of the place of the Sacred Scriptures in
    theliturgy:

    When the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church,


    God himself speaks to his people, and Christ, present
    in his word, proclaims the Gospel(GIRM,29).

    The proclamaon of the Sacred Scriptures during the


    Churchs liturgy is a profound acon, and one that is
    more akin to the reading of a leer from a loved one
    then the serious academic study of literature. The
    acon is an aural one, not a visual one; one that is
    moreabouttheearsthantheeyes.

    The Scriptures, parcularly the New Testament, are


    wrien in such a way as to lend themselves to being
    readaloudinaliturgicalseng,andtheuseofwrien
    versions of the Scripturesin the form of personal
    missals,andpreprintedsheetshadtheiroriginsina
    me when the Scriptures were proclaimed using a
    languageotherthanthatusedinnonChurchsengs.

    The proclamaon of the Sacred Scriptures during our


    liturgy is an invitaon to listen to the voice of God as
    Godspeakstous.

    For that reason, the weekly readings from the Sacred


    Scriptures will no longer form part the weekly parish
    bullen. They will connue to be included as a
    separate insert unl the current subscripon to this
    serviceexpires.

    Instead,thebullenwillincludethereferencestothis
    weeks and next weeks Scripture readings (see the
    back page). The text of the Responsorial Psalm will
    also be found on the back page so that we can
    connuetopraythePsalmaswecurrentlydo.

    For those parishioners who may wish to connue to


    useaprintedversionoftheweeklyreadingstofollow
    the Liturgy of the Word, the current edion of the
    personal missals contain the current readings
    (although not the new prayers) while it is hoped that
    new personal missals will be available in March or
    April.

    Apart from encouraging an acve engagement with


    theproclamaonoftheScriptures,theremovalofthe
    weekly readings from the bullen will allow more
