Faith Facts

Week 2 - August 1 -5 (Green)

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
31 18th SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME	1 St Alphonsus Liguori, bishop, doctor	2	3 St Dominic, priest	4 St John Vianney, priest	5	6 The Transfiguration of the Lord

Two significant feasts this week. The first was on Wednesday for St Dominic. Five schools in our Diocese carry the Dominican Charism. The Dominican motto is Veritas meaning Truth or Pono. With so much misinformation these days it is an excellent value to have. The mission is to Praise Whakapaingia, to Bless Whakanuia, to Preach Whakapaoho. 

The other feast day is on Sunday, The Transfiguration. Jesus and three of his apostles, Peter, James and John, go to a mountain. On the mountain, Jesus begins to shine with bright rays of light. Then the prophets Moses and Elijah appear next to him, and he speaks with them. Jesus is then called "Son" by God the Father. The Transfiguration is one of the five major milestones in the gospel story of the life of Jesus, the others being his Baptism, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension

God Bless
