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.

Fr. Agustin writes:The readings of this thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary time put before us an invitation to join in the Christian adventure and follow Jesus. To respond to this call and accept the invitation involves complete abandonment, without delay, without looking back. There is a sense of urgency about today’s Gospel, as various people express the desire to follow Christ, but not yet. How easy it is to identify ourselves with these three men! However, to all our reasons for delaying Jesus says clearly that the kingdom
of God will not wait; it is urgent to proclaim the good news to all people everywhere. Let us ask the Lord to set us free from all attachments so that like nomads, like pilgrims we may follow him freely in the ways the Spirit leads us.
Many thanks
May we thank all those who helped in the preparations and on the day of Fr. Michael Connor’s Funeral – to those who helped in the car park; catering; flowers; altar serving; giving out booklets; sidesmen. At such short notice everything went beautifully thanks to so much help.
