A message from the NZ Catholic Bishops Conference and The Nathaniel Centre for Bioethics:

Love Your Neighbour Get Vaccinated  - Church campaign supporting Covid-19 vaccination

On Wednesday June 10,  Cardinal John Dew publicly received the first Covid vaccination. This was part of  a major new Catholic Church campaign in support of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination programme. The campaign is being run by the bishops’  Nathaniel Centre for Bioethics (part of Te Kupenga).

At the request of the Bishops, Te Kupenga Nathaniel Centre for Bioethics has created a collection of resources about the vaccine which answer some commonly asked practical, scientific, and religious questions about it.  These resources are brought together under the title "Love Your     Neighbour As Yourself - Get Vaccinated.  Please view the short video    introduced by Bishop Patrick Dunn, involving various members of the Catholic community, about the vaccine. The website and video can be accessed at www.get-vaccinated-catholic-co.nz.

The Pfizer vaccine is safe and effective, and it has been given to hundreds of millions of people worldwide.  In getting the vaccine, you will also be protecting those who cannot receive the vaccination, such as those with underlying health conditions and young children.

The Vatican has stated that all approved vaccines can be received in good conscience – their use does not implicate anyone in the wrongs of           abortion.

Getting vaccinated is a charitable act as it protects not just yourself, your           whanau and your community, but also those who cannot be vaccinated for one reason or another.    Get vaccinated!

Any parishioner needing assistance with  food or grocery items, please contact Lyn Smith on 0212597561.  Please give your name, address, and number of family  members.
