‘Led by the Holy Spirit and nourished by the Eucharist, we grow in unity and love of God,
reaching out to all people with compassion and kindness, and working for justice and
peace.’ Day of Prayer for Refugees and Migrants Liturgy Notes
Sunday 19 June 2016
The New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference marks a special Day of Prayer for Refugees and Migrants
on a Sunday close to World Refugee Day (20 June). This year, the Day of Prayer falls on Sunday 19th June
2016.
Refugees and asylum seekers have been around for over 3,500 years. But since 2015, the number of
displaced people internationally has been greater than it has ever been with 60 million people displaced by
war and conflict. For a country like New Zealand, this is more than twelve times our population! In 2015,
New Zealand offered to accept an extra intake of 600 refugees over the next three years from Syria
alongside our current UNHCR quota refugee programme.
Today, the growing number of refugees is something that we cannot ignore. The New Zealand Bishops
Conference has offered support for increasing our refugee intake and welcome to those settling in New
Zealand and written a statement on Migration for this year’s Day of Prayer for Refugees and Migrants and
Social Justice Week.
The theme of Pope Francis’ message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2016 is Migrants and
Refugees Challenge Us. The Response of the Gospel of Mercy. In his message, Pope Francis encourages us
to pursue a culture of encounter:
“Biblical revelation urges us to welcome the stranger; it tells us that in so doing, we open our doors to God,
and that in the faces of others we see the face of Christ himself. Many institutions, associations, movements
and groups, diocesan, national and international organisations are experiencing the wonder and joy of the
feast of encounter, sharing and solidarity”
“Concern for fostering good relationships with others and the ability to overcome prejudice and fear are
essential ingredients for promoting the culture of encounter, in which we are not only prepared to give, but
also to receive from others. Hospitality, in fact, grows from both giving and receiving.”

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and
you welcomed me. Mt 25:35 Cardinal Blesses Fr Morrison's New Home
On Thursday 9th March Cardinal John Dew made a special trip to the Wairarapa to bless Fr Morrison's new
house. He was accompanied by Fr Peter Fitzgibbon, the Chairman of the Archdiocesan Clergy Trust
Fund. Some 30 - 40 parishioners and others came for the blessing and brought a veritable feast with
them for afternoon tea. Fr Bruce was present and there were representatives from both St Anthony's
in Martinborough and from other churches in Featherston. The new house, which has been fully
renovated by parishioner Vince Monk, is in Wakefield St, about 5 minutes’ walk from the Church. It
is warm, light and sunny, and is a truly homely place for Fr Don. Cardinal John wished Fr Don many
happy years in his new abode and he walked through and blessed each room. Fr Don is very pleased
with his new surroundings. So too is Harry who now has an enclosed back garden to run around in
so he will no longer be able to go wandering around the neighbourhood without his master.
