I'm thinking of you, my slightly dislocated parish flock, while writing midweek from my office on Irwin Road.
We've had a whirlwind of activity of late and a spectrum of emotion.
Many tears were shed on the week-end at the last Masses in the Goldstream Church and there was a profound solemnity at the Liturgy of Closure presided over by Bishop Gary and supported by me, Deacon Dion, and Padre Alex Varga from the DND Base Chapel; along with a standing room only for the lay faithful.
As one parishioner said 'when we were all outside the doors and the Bishop locked them and prayed for our journey beyond the Church building, it felt like a funeral'.
Indeed, that's exactly what the liturgy was a farewell in thanksgiving and grieving over our loss with profound hope in the ever present resurrected Lord Jesus. Life has changed but not ended for us.
Almost 400 have watched the livestream video which starts about a half hour into the recording here

The Bishops words acknowledged the difficulty of this very impact-
ful transition while emphasizing the presence of Jesus in the midst of the OLOR community pilgrimage of faith.
Bishop Gary exhorted us to press on with faith, hope and love and stay united as a 'family'. Good words.

God wants young
people to bring joy to the hearts of the elderly,
as Mary did to Elizabeth, and gain wisdom from
their experiences.
Yet, above all, the Lord wants
us not to abandon the elderly or to push them to
the margins of life, as tragically happens all too
often in our time.
Friendship with an older person
can help the young to see life not only in terms
of the present and realize that not everything
depends on them and their abilities.
For the
elderly, the presence of a young person in their
lives can give them hope that their experience
will not be lost and that their dreams can find
fulfilment.
To better appreciate God’s way of acting, let
us remember that our life is meant to be lived to
the full, and that our greatest hopes and dreams
are not achieved instantly but through a process
of growth and maturation, in dialogue and in
relationship with others.
Those who focus only
on the here and now, on money and possessions,
on “having it all now”, are blind to the way God
works.
His loving plan spans past, present and
future; it embraces and connects the generations.
It is greater than we are, yet includes each of us
and calls us at every moment to keep pressing
forward.
For the young, this means being ready
to break free from the fleeting present in which
virtual reality can entrap us, preventing us from
doing something productive.
For the elderly,
it means not dwelling on the loss of physical
strength and thinking with regret about missed
opportunities.
Let us all look ahead!
And allow
ourselves to be shaped by God’s grace, which
from generation to generation frees us from
inertia and from dwelling on the past!
Next, I would invite you to make a concrete
gesture that would include grandparents and the
elderly.
Let us not abandon them.
Their presence
in families and communities is a precious one,
for it reminds us that we share the same heritage
and are part of a people committed to preserving
its roots.
From the elderly we received the gift of
belonging to God’s holy people. The Church, as
well as society, needs them, for they entrust to
the present the past that is needed to build the
future.
Let us honour them, neither depriving
ourselves of their company nor depriving them
of ours.
May we never allow the elderly to be
cast aside!
The World Day for Grandparents and the
Elderly is meant to be a small but precious sign
of hope for them and for the whole Church.
