17th Sunday in Ordinary Time -Year A
Parish Administration and Mission Centre
We now have final costings and details for the proposed Parish Administration
and Mission Centre in Napier. A Parish meeting is planned in the next few weeks
to outline to parishioners the scope and cost of the project before we seek
approval from the Diocese.The date for that meeting will be confirmed in next
week's newsletter.
There has been much work and planning over the past 18 months to get to this
stage. You will remember that:
the Diocese wishes the Church to have a presence in the centre of the
city of Napier;
the proposed new building was not only for Administration but must
also include a Mission Centre for outreach and hospitality to the wider
community;
the first preliminary drawing was rejected because of the roof-line;
a new design was overwhelmingly accepted and has been displayed in
the foyer of each Church for the past few months;
Resource Consent for the project from the Napier City Council was
received in April 2020;
while we considerable funds available for the building a fund raising
campaign will be required;
I hope that all parishioners are able to attend this presentation. It will most
probably take place on a Sunday afternoon and we will have an ‘afternoon tea’ so
parishioners from all three churches can catch up.
First Sacraments of Initiation - Reconciliation, Holy Communion and
Confirmation
The sacramental programme for our primary and secondary school students has
been compromised this year because of COVID-19. We normally begin
preparation in the first school term and celebrate the sacraments during Terms 2
and 3. The ‘lockdown’ during March, April and May now makes it most unlikely
that we can celebrate these sacraments this year. The sacramental programme
relies on a number of people to prepare the material and some of these are
teachers in our schools. I am still seeking advice on whether it is possible but my
feeling is that it is unlikely that we can offer the First Sacraments in 2020.
