Dear Parishioners, 1. Tribalism It is part of Christian doctrine that only Christians can be saved. No one comes to the Father except by Christ (Jn 14:6). This is a view that can encourage tribalism. In the Gospel Reading, the apostles see someone who is not among the group of Christ’s disciples but who is casting out demons in the name of Christ anyway. When the apostles see the man who is doing a miracle in Christ’s name, they tell him to stop it. As the apostles look at it, unless a person is a member of their group, their tribe, he is an outsider; and, as an outsider, he is not among the saved. In the view of the apostles, that is why there is something wrong about that outsider’s using God’s power to do miracles. In response, Jesus defends the outsider and rebukes the tribalism of his apostles. “Whoever is not against us is for us,” he tells the disciples. The outsider has not joined the disciples, and he doesn’t know the doctrines or customs the apostles are learning. But, in the view of Jesus, he is still one of his own. So it is true that no one comes to the Father except by Christ. But this requirement makes Christ the one necessary and sufficient condition for salvation. It doesn’t say anything about any of other tribal ways by which members of a group usually identify themselves. As Christ sees that outsider, he meets the one requisite condition for salvation: he is for Christ. And so, for Christ, that outsider counts as one of those who come to the Father by Christ, even if he is not an official member of Christ’s disciples. But then, you might say, who doesn’t count as one of Christ’s own? Who actually is against Christ? In effect, Christ answers these questions by giving an example of a group destined for perdition. It is the group of those who draw children away from the Lord or who make the vulnerable and helpless worse than they otherwise would be. Those in that group would be better off being dropped into the sea with millstones around their necks, Christ says. So here is what we need to remember. Even Judas was a member of the official tribe of Christ’s disciples; but in the end Judas was not one of Christ’s own. Real membership in the group of those who are Christ’s own depends on being for Christ, and for those he loves. 2.

Rose Gallagher's Legacy Beacon of Hope for Homeless & At Risk Youth Catholic Communications, Sydney Archdiocese, 23 Sep 2015

Without emotional, financial and social support teenagers leaving out of home care are at risk and may become homeless.

For most young people an 18th birthday is cause for celebration as they leave school behind and embark on life as an adult full of dreams and hopes for the future. But for many of the 3,248 children in out-of-home-care across NSW reaching 18 can be deeply distressing. No longer the responsibility of the State, they can frequently find themselves literally on their own with little money, no job and in most cases, without the backup of family and a network of friends.

Every 18 year old needs some form of help, guidance and encouragement as they transition from childhood to adulthood. But 18-year-olds who have been in out-of-home care and in all probability have experienced extreme hardships including abuse, poverty, trauma and family separation and are particularly vulnerable and at high risk of homelessness.

Fortunately the generosity and far sightedness of the late 91-year-old Rose Gallagher, an active member of All Hallows Parish for over 80 years, is helping change the lives of young people leaving the foster care system. On her death in 2008, Rose bequeathed her estate to help young people at risk of homelessness and in particular those who having suffered traumatic childhood experiences which resulted in their placement out-of-home care, and left them ill-equipped emotionally and financially to be able to support themselves and begin living independently.

CatholicCare CEO Bernard Boerma with Executor of Rose's Estate, Anne McReynolds at opening of newly completed Rose Gallagher cottages "Youth leaving foster care face unique challenges which often go unnoticed," says Bernard Boerma, CEO of CatholicCare Sydney.

On what had been Rose's home at Five Dock for so many years and on land jointly owned with Molly, her sister, two pur-pose-built three-bedroom cottages to provide young people at risk with transitional accommodation and support has been built by CatholicCare. This construction of the two houses which will be known as Rose's Cottage and Molly's Cottage was made possible by a Capital Grant from the Department of Family and Services, another generous grant from the Property Industry Foundation and the many gifts and donations from those at All Hallows Parish who knew and loved Rose. Many who may not have known Rose personally but who have been inspired by her bequest and her lifelong dedication to helping young people, also made significant contributions.

But the big hearted generosity of parishioners at All Hallows doesn't stop there. On 9 October, the parish Community and the local CWL are holding a Rose's Gala Night where they hope to raise the $50,000 needed to pay for fittings and furniture.

"We want to do all we can to help realise Rose's dream," says Rosetta Pozzer, President of the CWL Five Dock Branch. CatholicCare programs help teenagers at risk find new hope and a future Galvanised by Rosetta and Anne McReynolds, a longtime friend of Rose Gallagher and the executor of her estate, a committee to organise the Rose's Gala Night was formed. "Rose's legacy will be on going and here at All Hallows we want to help in any way we can," says Rosetta. She admits however that planning a grand fundraising evening with a target figure of $50,000 was not something either the CWL branch or the Parish had done before.

"We're used to organising raffles and small prizes but this event is much bigger and we realised we needed to approach spon-sors and big business so we co-opted members of the Parish experienced in this sort of thing to our committee," she says.

CatholicCare CEO Bernard Boerma will be among the guests at the Gala night. Also there will be John Sidotti, NSW MP for Drummoyne which includes Five Dock, the Mayor of the City of Canada Bay, Angelo Tsirekas and All Hallows Parish Priest, Father Greg McGregor. Mike Bailey, Executive Assistant to the Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Sydney, and for-merly well known Sydney-based television presenter, will MC the event.

"Having the two cottages will definitely transform lives," says Morgan Childers, Manager of Youth Accommodation and sup-port for CatholicCare Sydney. Called the Rose Gallagher Project by the agency, and managed and operated under Catholic-Care's highly regarded ALIVE program (Adolescents Living Independently Via Empowerment), the six young people who should be moved in and living in the two cottages by early next month, will live there independently.

But each will have their own CatholicCare case manager who will help mentor and guide them, support them emotionally, and encourage them to join classes provided by the agency to improve numeracy and literacy, as well as help develop life-skills such as managing finances, cooking, shopping on a budget together with the importance of good nutrition and health.

"We will also help them with vocational training and job skills and where possible help them rebuild relationships with their families. We will also help with assisting them in developing a good support network and importantly, help them to build their confidence and self esteem," Morgan says. She also stressed that each young person in the ALIVE program receives individual one-to-one support. "No two cases are alike and each needs a personalised approach," she says.

It is expected that those staying at Rose's Cottage or Molly's Cottage will need around 18 months to develop the confidence and skills to create a future for themselves and begin a new life as an adult within the wider community.
