Special September Newsletter from Auckland Diocese

Teman-teman umat KKIA terkasih dalam Kristus,

Di bawah ini adalah newsletter istimewa dari Keuskupan Auckland untuk para umat yang menjalani lockdown. Ada link-link menarik yang bisa dilihat untuk  menambah pengetahuan iman dan juga ada film, dan hiburan dari para musisi yang juga adalah imam Katolik. 

Kiranya kita semua tetap sehat dan semangat, sampai nanti kita bisa bertemu kembali. 

----------

 Kia ora katoa,

 

Lots for newsletters this week.  Some of you in the North or South may well now be returning to a physical office.  If you are, go well and stay safe.  For the rest, many of our kitchens and lounges remain dual purpose!  Even though some in Level 2 may be able to gather in small, physically distant groups many of the online and other digital resources will continue to provide support and nourishment at this time.  The last attachment inspiringly called Slide 1 is one sent last year.  It is reminding people that Bishop Pat has formally given dispensation from our Sunday Obligation during this extraordinary time.  This is still valid no matter a parish be in Level 2 or 4.  You might like to reassure people at this time.   

 

For newsletters

Resources in times of Lockdown The diocese has a number of resources available on its website to support people during this time https://www.aucklandcatholic.org.nz/home-2020-new-design/the-church-and-covid-level-4/ This also has a program of events that are available in the diocese during this time.  For those at level 2 https://www.aucklandcatholic.org.nz/home-2020-new-design/the-church-and-covid-level-2/ will be a useful resource.

A reminder that the diocese continues to provide broadcast Sunday Mass.  It is uploaded at 5.30pm Saturday night (as per a Vigil Mass time) to the Youtube channel Auckland Catholic https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb7o1XYfQet-mOW1mJSzfow .  It is also broadcast on Shine TV Sundays at 2.00pm Free-to-air TV Channel 25, Sky TV Channel 201.

The Season of Creation is celebrated worldwide in the month of September ending with the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi on 4th October.

This year the global Christian family will participate in initiatives of prayer, sustainability, and advocacy to care for our common home. This year’s Season of Creation symbol is Abraham’s tent. It expresses the ecumenical call of radical hospitality, safeguarding a place for all creatures, human and non-human in the household (oikos) of God. Further information, prayers and other liturgy resources can be found at Justice & Peace - Catholic Diocese of Auckland (aucklandcatholic.org.nz) at the Environment & Sustainability tab.
