R.C.I.A.

We have now finished the R.C.I.A. for this year and hopefully will begin again in September.  At present I have nobody who is showing an interest but maybe you know of a person who might be interested in becoming a Catholic.  Perhaps your husband; wife; girlfriend; boyfriend or neighbour would like to know more about the Catholic faith with a view to joining the Church.  If so, please let me know and I will give you more details

The Body and Blood of Christ

Fr. Michael writes:Today is the Feast of Corpus Christi when we remember the mystery of the Holy Eucharist which Jesus gave to his disciples at the Last Supper.  The celebration and worship of the Eucharist enables us to draw near to God’s love and to persevere in that love until we are united with the Lord whom we serve.  We should try to understand that in the Holy Eucharist, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, comes to meet us and desires to be one with us.  When we receive the Body of Christ we are united with him so that his presence strengthens us in holiness.  May that presence of the Body and Blood of Jesus always lie at the heart of our parish community and at the heart of our faith.

 

Re-commissioning of our Eucharistic Ministers

At all Masses this weekend we will re-commission our Eucharistic Ministers for the coming year.  Grateful thanks to all of them for their loyalty and commitment to the parish in this wonderful ministry.

Feast of Corpus Christi
 

This afternoon from 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm there will be a Holy Hour of Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament with prayer and scripture, to celebrate this lovely Feast of Corpus Christi.  Do try your best to come along.
At all Masses too, this weekend we have a pastoral letter from our Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor for the Feast of Corpus Christi.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Billy Parsons baptised into our Community today.
