Gracious God, you have guided

who have gone before us in St. Mary’s.
Encourage, prepare and provide for us now
as we become both parish and cathedral.
Lift our expectations and our trust
in what you have in store for us
and for the Bishopric of Taranaki.
Deepen our love,
Strengthen our unity,
Help us to widen our welcome
and listen well.
So all within these walls
And all who pass through
will find Christ’s hospitality,
hope and food here
for the journey he leads us on.
Hear our prayer we pray in His name. Amen

PANDEMIC UPDATE
Following instructions from the Bishops , we at st. Mary’s have put in place the following. At the Peace: do not shake hands but say to those around you ‘The Peace of God be with you’, or similar. The Ministry team have decided that as the cases of swine flu are increasing in the city, we would offer disposable glasses with the consecrated wine as well as the Chalice. We encourage all parishioners to use the disposable glasses. The Chalice will not be offered at the South Altar but will be available at the High Altar and the Chapel. All administrants and the duty priest are required to sanitise their hands prior to administrating

FROM BISHOP PHILIP
I am delighted that Bishop John and Liz Bluck have agreed to come back and help us for a further week including two Sunday’s from Friday 18th September to Monday 28th September. This will coincide with my absence overseas representing the Diocese in Kuching, Sarawak and Lichfield England.
All parishioners are warmly invited to join the Bishops of the Diocese for a Celebration of ten years of the Bishopric of Taranaki and the shared model of leadership of the Bishops to be held in St Mary’s pro-Cathedral at 2pm on Saturday 11th July 2009. The preacher will be the Reverend Dr Peter Norris who preached at Bishop Philip’s ordination as Bishop 10 years ago. People are travelling from throughout the Diocese including the choir from St Peter’s Cathedral who will join our own St Mary’s choir for the service.
Please Help; our Sunday children’s ministry has grown at such a rate that we urgently need helpers prepared to go on a roster to assist Katy Bassett each Sunday. No preparation would be required; helpers would assist with the youngest age group and have materials prepared for them to use with these children. We need a roster of at least 5 people so that the maximum expectation would be for one Sunday per month. This is a fantastic ministry and lots and lots of fun – I know because I got to go one Sunday and really enjoyed it! Please let the parish office and Katy know directly if you can give ¾ of an hour one Sunday each month to help us grow this ministry. Bishop Philip.
