MASS TIMES
ST IGNATIUS Toowong: Weekdays 5.30pm every afternoon; Saturday 9.00am & 6.00pm (Vigil); Sunday 7.00am & 5.00pm.
Reconciliation: Saturday after 9.00am Mass and from 5.15pm to 5.45pm, or by appointment. HOLY SPIRIT Auchenflower: Weekdays 9.00am Monday, Wednesday & Friday; Sunday 8.30am.
For the gospel text we return to Jesus’ words of
farewell to his disciples, some of which we heard two
Sundays ago. What is immediately striking is the vast
difference in tone and content between the first
reading and the gospel.
The epiphany of the Spirit on Pentecost Day is described dramatically in
terms of wind and fire and multi-lingual preaching. It is a grand-scale
public event. Jesus’ verbal testament, by contrast, is intimate,
affectionate, personal and private. No sign accompanies his words, but
they are spoken between the sign of foot-washing and the final
triumphant sign of the cross.
Where the Pentecost event is bursting with missionary energy, the
farewell discourse is focussed on the hearts of the disciples and the
communion of life they share with Father, Word and Spirit. These have
been the two poles between which the Church has journeyed
throughout the Easter season. Indwelling and mission—these are the
dynamic inter-related works of the Spirit in the on-going life of the

100 Trees to mark 100 Years with the Jesuits
As part of Toowong Parish Jesuit Centenary our parish is holding a ceremonial tree planting - but we are not just planting a single tree at the church, or the school.
You are invited to join in as we plant 100 lemon myrtles (backhousia citriodora) - one for every year of Jesuit care – across the parish.
Wherever the Jesuits serve, they ‘go native’.
Hence the lemon myrtle, a Queensland native which is not just fragrant and beautiful but practical, with proven uses in cooking, healing & cleansing.
Plants of different sizes will be available from early June and we expect them to range in price from $3—$20 depending on the size of the plant.
For more info., or to go on the waiting list please email or phone:- * Robyn Emerson 0416 344 714 | [email protected] OR * Charles Costello 0431 709 269 | [email protected]

OUR MISSION PRAYER
We, the St Ignatius community, are called to live the good news. We pray that we become the people that Jesus Christ called us to be. We pray that we know the Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit
through knowing Jesus in prayer, scripture and liturgy. We pray that we give hope to others by a practical, personal kindness, affirming each person's dignity, worth and destiny in Christ. May we live out this mission of our Christian vocation in the spirit of St. Ignatius.
Fr Richard Galbraith sj Fr Richard Galbraith sj Fr Richard Galbraith sj Fr Richard Galbraith sj followed Fr Drury as Parish Priest (1973—74).
Fr Richard, “Call me Richard”, introduced Lay Ministers for
Communion.
It was during his period as Parish Priest that the “Morrow” property
was offered to the parish to purchase. Fr Richard called a Parish
Meeting and was quickly told to purchase same; and where would
St Ignatius School be without it today!
Fr Richard became heavily involved in counselling troubled religious
following Vatican II and suffered a stress related health failure.
He also suffered a lot of criticism from parishioners for his progres-
sive ways, even being reported to the Bishop.
Father Richard later chose to leave the Order. Fr Richard Galbraith sj with Percy & Judy Hanlon
