Sunday 31 October 2021 ‐ Today is Mission Sunday
‘We cannot but speak about what we have seen and heard’ Acts 4:20
It is Mission Month, and Mission Sunday here in New Zealand on 31st October. It usually falls on the penultimate Sunday of October however because of COVID and the Labour day weekend, we are “buying” time. These are uncertain times.

Pope Francis proclaims “Year of St Joseph”
With the Apostolic Letter “Patris corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis recalls the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To mark the occasion, the Holy Father has proclaimed a “Year of Saint Joseph”.
“With a father’s heart: that is how Joseph
loved Jesus…”
(Patris Corde; pg.1, Pope Francis)
Prayer to St Joseph
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil.
Amen
