25 04 2021 4Th Sunday Easter Glenelg Catholic Parish 25th April 2021 4th Sunday Easter “I am the Good Shepherd”, said Jesus. John Herd PP Today we mark Good Shepherd Sunday which is also Vocations Sunday. Recently we celebrated Jesus in his dying on Good Friday and in his rising on Easter Sunday; Jesus is the Risen Lord of history. He accompanies us his beloved church with tenderness and faithfulness. We sometimes think of sheep as cuddly and cute, but often enough sheep are impatient and run wild. It is the tender and faithful shepherd who gathers together and guides the sheep. As Baptised faithful we all have a vocation. We are each called through Baptism to know Jesus in our lives, and to bring our gifts to serve others. The vocation of the lay faithful is often not appreciated enough and sometimes the role of priests and bishops dominate the life of the church. But our true identity is as the People of God in which each one is welcomed. We can welcome the gift of each other. Lay people have a particular calling to family life and to life in the world. Lay faithful are missioned to bring the Gospel message into the hustle and bustle of business and social life and in the joys and struggles of family life. But together we are part of this greater reality of the church as the People of God. In his letter this year about Vocations, Pope Francis speaks of St Joseph and the dream of a vocation. It is good for us to dream about how our life can be fulfilled. St Joseph received his vocation through a dream in which the angel told him not to be afraid. Joseph let go of his own plans and trusted God’s way for him and gave his life in service. Francis says that Joseph is known for chastity and that he overcame possessiveness in his loving. Because of this he was able to generously serve others and give his life for them. Francis thinks of St Joseph as a protector of vocations. I have been in the Glenelg parish for just a year. I have appreciated the welcome given to me and the support of so many. But it has also been a challenging year. The experience of COVID has brought about various worries and tensions in the world generally and in families and in relationships. There has been worry in our parish community too. I want to ask forgiveness for any hurt I have caused, or for being insensitive to the needs of others. As we celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday, let’s look to the Good Shepherd and seek to be guided by him. We can be sure that Jesus the Good Shepherd will continue to accompany and guide the parish community of Glenelg.

  • Royal Commission Into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse: Case Study 50
    Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse: Case Study 50 7 February 2017 The second day of the Royal Commission’s Catholic “wrap up” hearing was held today in Sydney. The Commission today heard from Father Thomas Doyle OP, a US Priest with significant experience in the Church’s handling of child sexual abuse, Dr Michelle Mulvihill, psychologist and former Sister of Mercy, Professor Neil James Ormerod, Professor of Theology at ACU and Father Francis Maloney SDB, Senior Professorial Fellow at College of Divinity, Victoria. Testimony of Father Thomas Doyle OP Background Father Doyle spoke about his studies and his work as a staff canon lawyer within the Papal Nuncio’s office in Washington DC, including his role in assisting the selection of Bishops. Father Doyle went into some detail about his first encounter with child sexual abuse and its cover up. He spoke of local police contacting the office in 1982 to say that a retired Bishop had been caught with a couple of teenage boys, but they would cover it up. He went on to reoffend. He also said that they were contacted by another man who said that a Priest rumoured to be a nominee for Bishop had abused his wife’s nephew, and so the nomination was withdrawn. He explained that the issue came to a head in the mid 1980s, when the Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana informed them that they had entered into confidential settlements with a number of families, and that another was planning to sue the Diocese. Father Doyle wrote a report for the Pope, and a Bishop was appointed to investigate the matter, but Father Doyle said the Bishop was only interested in avoiding the scandal.

The title comes from The Chronicles of early Melbourne by ‘Garryowen’ [Edmund Finn], published in 1888, and refers to the area north of the Reilly Street drain. These essays relate to that area. North Fitzroy has not had the same attention from historians as the southern part of the suburb, though less than twenty years separate the two areas, and it is older than most other suburbs of Melbourne. It is hoped that this publication will encourage research on other topics relating to North Fitzroy.

    A speech delivered by Mr Gary Lockwood – (President of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History Adelaide Branch) at a meeting of the Florey Sub Branch of the ALP on Monday 21 st February 2011. Ladies and Gentleman fellow members of the ALP ...Comrades Thank you your introduction and I must say I am very proud to be the President of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History (Adelaide Branch) and I would have greatly appreciated the opportunity to tell you more about a very fine Labour Organisation/History Organisation – how important it is, and what it does. But contemporary political times, has led me to take on another subject. In November 2010 I attended the Annual General Meeting at Sydney University of what is quite an academically orientated organisation – it is the peak history recording body of its type in Australia – highly held on an International base and historians long to have their works published in ‘Labour History’ – a publication that is produced twice yearly and this year on the organisation 50 th Anniversary...issue number 100 will be released. But it is about issue number 99 that I want to talk to you about ...because I have chosen an article in this issue to highlight the subject matter that I hope will be of interest to you all. I was at the Annual General Meeting of Labour History at Sydney University and just before the meeting commenced this ‘freshly off the press’ edition of Labour History arrived – someone handed me a copy and said ‘Oh Gary – you might just as well have your SA copy – it will save postage’ – I took it and sat down.

  • History Essay Part3 TV
    Australian Hierarchy at Vatican II (written in 2007 by Thang Vu during his seminary formation towards the priesthood) Part III: The Australian Hierarchy at Vatican II The Local Church Reception: Of John XXIII and News of a Council As Catholics around the world were able to see their Vicar of Christ on TV for the first time, by leaving the Vatican, visiting prisoners and looking for all the world like a man who enjoyed life and people, John XXIII became loved in a way altogether different to the awe-struck respect afforded by the world to Pius XII – “executants, not collaborators.” 1 His portliness in a television age only increased the sense people had that here was a Pope who was human and simple. His announcement of a Council for the Universal Church was the clearest and least arguable demonstration of the Petrine ministry exercised in this century. Theologically, the announcement of the Council captured the attention of the local Church too; here the decision brought to bear locally something of the weight of the Universal Church. Local Catholics had to respond in a supportive and hopeful way, they had to try to please even if the consequences of a Council were largely matters for speculation between 1959 and 1962. Because the awesome charism of the papal primacy was exercised by Good Pope John rather than by a remote and ethereal figure, Catholics at a local level felt assured that their long-standing inclination toward obedience in this transitional phase of history was right for the times. 2 John was Bishop of Rome but he was also their Supreme Pontiff.

  • Nation's Bishops Arrive for Golden Tribute Catholic Bishops From
    Nation's Bishops Arrive for Golden Tribute Catholic bishops from across the nation have begun arriving in Adelaide for tomorrow's tribute to Adelaide's Archbishop Leonard Faulkner. Twenty four bishops and 109 priests from all corners of Australia will celebrate a golden anniversary for Archbishop Faulkner in St Francis Xavier's Cathedral at 10:30am. The Mass will celebrate a significant milestone in the life of Adelaide's Catholic community - the 50th anniversary of Archbishop Faulkner's ordination as a priest in Rome on January 1, 1950. The Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Francesco Canalini, who is the Vatican's official representative in Australia, will concelebrate the Mass with the Australian bishops, including the Archbishop of Melbourne, Perth and Canberra/Goulburn. Bishop Eugene Hurley, Bishop of Port Pirie, and many priests from his diocese, will also attend. In an act which represents the continuity and harmony of the leadership of the Adelaide church, the homily will be delivered by Archbishop James Gleeson, Emeritus Archbishop of Adelaide - who retired from his active leadership role when Archbishop Faulkner was appointed Archbishop of Adelaide in 1985. A full list of bishops attending is below. As always, members of the public are welcome to attend the Mass, irrespective of religious belief. Media attendance at the Mass is welcome, but please respect the integrity of the occasion.
