Mission Sunday
Fr. Richard O'Dwyer SJ
The Catholic Church is not a member only club which we join or perhaps for many of us were born into that guarantees us a place in heaven if we keep the club rules and provided we don’t help ourselves to the club’s financial assets and property. I think perhaps that need to be aware of the fact We are members of the church because God has called us to be part of God’s mission to the whole world. This important fact is not stated very often but today is Mission Sunday and it is good for us to remember that this mission, this project which is the reason primarily why the Church came into being and continues to exist, is first of all God’s mission and not ours.

Pray with Pope Francis
Pope’s prayer intention for October: that women have greater leadership roles in the Church
No one has been baptized a priest or a bishop. We have all been baptized as lay people.
Lay people are protagonists of the Church.
Today, it is especially necessary to create broader opportunities for a more incisive female presence in the Church.
And we must emphasize the feminine lay presence because women tend to be left aside.
We must promote the integration of women, especially where important decisions are made.
We pray that by the virtue of baptism, the laity, especially women, may participate more in areas of responsibility in the Church, without falling into forms of clericalism that diminish the lay charism.
