14th Sunday in Ordinary Time -Year A
Congratulations
We warmly congratulate Mary and Ian King who celebrated their Golden
Wedding anniversary on 27 June. They were married in St Patrick’s Church in
Napier by Father Tom O’Connor sm. Mary and Ian have been loyal and faithful
Parishioners of St Thomas More all their married life. They have worked
tirelessly in so many roles for the Parish over this time. We warmly congratulate
them and wish them every blessing and happiness on this wonderful milestone.
May God bless them abundantly.
Priestly Ordination
We also congratulate Father Mike Wooller sm, who celebrated his 50th
anniversary of priestly ordination last Tuesday. Father Mike was ordained at St
Mary of the Angels Church in Wellington on 30 June 1970. He has worked in
education and Parish ministry in both New Zealand and for many years in Fiji.
We thank God for Father Mike’s faithful ministry over this time. Many of us
Marists were able to gather with Father Mike and his family last Tuesday to
celebrate with him.
Father Damian celebrates 40 years of priestly ordination today. While it is
traditional in the Society of Mary to only celebrate 25 and 50 years we
acknowledge Father Damian’s 40 years today and thank God for his ministry in
Parishes over these years.
Apostleship of the Sea
Next weekend the Church celebrates ‘Sea Sunday’. It is an opportunity for us to
increase our awareness of this wonderful work. We have many volunteers here
in the Napier Catholic Apostleship of the Sea Ministry who look after the welfare
of many visiting seafarers when they arrive in port.
More information on this work will be provided in next week’s newsletter. At the
end of Mass next week we will have the bi-annual retiring collection to help with
the financial support for this work.
School Holidays
We wish all our students and teachers a very happy and safe holiday. It has been
a challenging year with COVID-19 and we pray you have a relaxing break.
