Good Luck Clare Davis 0409932597 Guild of St Stephen History of the Guild Father Hamilton MacDonald founded the Guild of St. Stephen in London in 1904 when he formed a society of altar servers in the local Parish of Brook Green. Cardinal Francis Bourne, who established the Guild at Westminster Cathedral, took up the idea. This Guild was approved by Pope St. Pius X in 1905, and on 4th November 1906, was raised to the status of an Archconfraternity enabling all the Parish Branches to be linked with it. The Guild spread, and in 1934, the year after the death of Father MacDonald, Pope Pius XI enabled all Guilds of altar servers throughout the British Commonwealth to be affiliated with the Archconfraternity at Westminster. It was in these circumstances that the Guild was established in Australia in 1954 through the efforts of Father Rex Donohoe from the Archdiocese of Hobart. The guild acts as support and advisors for those wishing to have a role as Altar Servers. In Australia Altar Servers can be admitted into the guild from year 7 onwards. It is an honour to be admitted to the guild. With this in mind we are proud to announce that Rachael Vander Haar, Joshua Childs, Torsten Johnson & Jack Kay were inducted into the St Stephen's Guild on Friday 1st May. The mass was celebrated by His Grace Archbishop Denis Hart and Priests from various parishes in the grandeur of St Patrick's Cathedral. 110 Altar servers from 24 Parishes received the St Stephen's Guild medal from His Grace. They look forward to wearing their medals with pride for their wonderful service. Thank you to Fr Jerald & Fr Peter and their families for their continued guidance and support. We the community would like to Congratulate Rachael, Joshua, Torsten and Jack on their induction to the Guild. We are so proud of you.

  • THE APOSTOLIC LETTER UNIVERSALIS ECCLESIAE PROCURATIO of POPE BENEDICT XV, 20 July 1917
    THE APOSTOLIC LETTER UNIVERSALIS ECCLESIAE PROCURATIO OF POPE BENEDICT XV, 20 July 1917 ¶BENEDICT, Bishop, Servant of the Servants of God, For Remembrance in Perpetuity ¶THE WELFARE OF THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH, which is the concern of the Roman Pontiffs, moves them to the erection of new dioceses throughout the Catholic world whenever this seems to promote the greater good of the People of God. Since, therefore, it seemed opportune and even necessary for the increase of religion and the good of souls to divide the far-flung Archdiocese of Westminster in England into two parts, so that a new and distinct diocese might be formed, We, with the agreement of Our beloved son Francis Bourne, Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church with the title of St Pudentiana, presently Archbishop of Westminster, together with the advice of others whom it may be presumed to concern, and with the assent of Our brethren in the Sacred Consistorial Congregation, did take from the Archdiocese of Westminster the County of Essex, establishing it as a distinct diocese, and did decree that it be a Suffragan See of the Metropolitan Church of Westminster. In the Consistory held on 22 March 1917, so that the matter might be settled as speedily as possible, We chose Our beloved son, Bernard Ward, to be Titular Bishop of Lydda and Apostolic Administrator in the new diocese until such time was required to determine the further needs of the see. In the present Consistory, since both the Archbishop of Westminster and the Apostolic Administrator considered it appropriate to locate the Cathedral in the town of Brentwood, We, all things considered and with the fullness of Our Apostolic power, constitute the aforesaid town of Brentwood as an episcopal see and the seat of the Bishop, with all the rights and privileges which the other English dioceses enjoy.

THE INTRIGUING QUESTION Invitation to Dr Theodor Herzl to attend Audience with Pope Pius X On 25 January 1904, the Feast of the Conversion of St Paul, the recently-elected Pope Pius X granted an Audience in the Vatican Palace to Dr Theodor Herzl, leader of the Zionist movement, and heard his plea for papal approval for the Zionist project for a Jewish national home in Palestine. Dr Herzl outlined to the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church the full details of the Zionist project, providing assurances that the various Holy Places in Palestine would be “ex-territorialised” to ensure their security and protection, and sought the Pope’s endorsement and support, preferably through the issuing of a pro-Zionist encyclical.

  • Centenary Note 1
    New build The view from the narthex Photograph ©Leanne Knight Introduction t is very fitting that the history of St Michael’s Parish should be re-issued Iduring 2006, the year when the Parish is celebrating its first Centenary. It is, of course, not possible to capture the spirit and character of a parish in a small booklet. Nonetheless, it is important to have a record of the growth and development of our parish. In this history, we can glimpse something of the Mgr Jim Overton hard work, sacrifice, faith and trust in God of the priests and the parishioners who built up St Michael’s Parish over the years. Each generation developed the parish as a community, worshipping God, handing on the faith to their children, and giving witness to the world of their Catholic faith and of generous giving to those in need. This has resulted today in a community that is vibrant in faith, renowned for its friendliness and generosity, and which is looking forward to the future with confidence and hope. I hope that this history will give us all a great sense of the wonderful things that past and present parishioners have achieved over the past hundred years, with the help of God’s grace and move us to rejoice and give thanks to God for the grace of St Michael’s Parish. Monsignor James Overton Parish Priest Page 3 A Brief History of the parish 1293 The first mention of a chapel in Exeforde dedicated to St Michael.

This in turn led to a study of the French catechetical renewal movement. While it became evident that the main movement was led by Fr Joseph Colomb in the years immediately following the Second World War, it was soon apparent that the roots extended much further back in time.
