He is risen! He is not here! Man's inhumanity to Man As we celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, we remember this great act of love. Jesus died and rose from the dead to save us and redeem us. His message of justice peace and love are as relevant today as they were 2000 years ago. I think about the saying "man's inhumanity to man." especially in War torn areas, Ukraine and Gaza the fighting is still going on. People are dying, starving. I ask that the Risen Lord will bring peace to these conflicts and peace to our whole world. I also pray for peace in our community, parish and families, that the Risen Lord will be with each and every one of us. It has been a busy week so far, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped. I really appreciate everybody who has helped in anyway. I want to wish you and your families a happy and holy Easter. That the Risen Lord will be with you today and always. Always be assured of my continued prayers and commitment to the parish.  God Bless and Prayers Fr. Frank

NEW & COMING SOON
Important items highlighted by Fr. Frank. These will contain news elements & important requests
“On this rock I will build my Church.”
Monday 26th June The journey of faith has surprising twists French missionary to the United States Simon Bruté, who died on this day in 1839, lived through major upheaval. His father came from a wealthy, aristocratic family. His mother often told him, “You were born to live in opulence.” But Bruté later wrote, “God ordered it otherwise.” His father died deeply in debt and his affairs in disarray. His mother saved the boy from military service during France’s Reign of Terror. Disguised as a baker’s assistant, he brought the Eucharist to imprisoned priests. He was eventually ordained, moved to Baltimore to teach, and later became the first bishop of the Diocese of Vincennes, Indiana. Life rarely turns out the way you plan, but if you surrender to God’s will for you, you might find your faith takes you on an adventure you never could have imagined.  Today's readings: Genesis 12:1-9; Matthew 7:1-5
Monday 19th June Take your place in paradise A thousand years ago, Italian monk Saint Romuald founded a religious order, the Camaldolese, that blended the Christian hermit tradition into monastic life. His monks lived in individual cells but participated in some communal activities. Romuald’s rule of life put solitude and contemplation and meditation on the Psalms at the center of his order’s spirituality. He wrote, “Sit in your cell as in paradise. Put the whole world behind you and forget it. Watch your thoughts like a good fisherman watching for fish. The path you must follow is in the Psalms— never leave it.” Tap into this tradition and try finding a place of solitude and, with the Psalms handy, carve out some quiet time for contemplation in your busy day.  Today's readings: 2 Corinthians 6:1-10; Matthew 5:38-42
Monday 5th June Make your life a work of art Artist and author on interreligious thought, Frederick Franck was born in 1909 in Holland and died on this day in 2006 in Warwick, New York—the place of his life’s work, Pacem in Terris (“Peace on Earth”), a garden of more than 70 sculptures, open free to the public and dedicated to Pope John XXIII, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, and the Buddhist teacher D.T. Suzuki. Raised agnostic in a Catholic region of his country and a student of Zen Buddhism, Franck was inspired during the Cuban Missile Crisis to go to Rome in 1963 to draw all the sessions of the Second Vatican Council. “Art is neither a profession nor a hobby, it is a way of being,” he said. Take inspiration to creatively express your spirituality in your own way of being.  Today's readings: Tobit 1:3; 2:1b-8; Mark 12:1-12
Monday 22nd May Support vulnerable women Rita of Cascia is the patron saint of abused wives because she herself was one. She endured years of verbal and physical abuse from her husband, and after he was murdered by a feuding family member, Rita became a nun. Read the U.S. Catholic Bishops’ statement against domestic violence. On the USCCB website, you can also find downloadable “When I Call for Help” resource cards in English and Spanish that list signs of an abusive relationship and include the number of the National Domestic Violence Hotline. These are ideal for parish pamphlet racks, for placing in parish restrooms, and to raise awareness about domestic abuse. We owe it to Saint Rita to act.  Today's readings: Acts 19:1-8; John 16:29-33
If anyone who is getting married this year could they come and see me any Thursday between 6pm and 7pm as soon as possible.  Baptism/Wedding Meetings: THURSDAY 6pm & 7pm. JUST TURN UP
Monday: “Peace begins with a smile.” Tuesday: “We fear the future because we are wasting today.” Wednesday: “When you don’t have anything, then you have everything.” Thursday: “Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life.” Friday: “Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.” Saturday: “Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.”
Starting 6th - 11th May  Fr. Kieran Brady from the Redemptorist Fathers will be leading it. He will be here the next weekend to tell you all about the mission.

Are you feeling increasingly compelled to spend time with Jesus? Do you find that your time is spent seeking him and all things connected with him?
If you have questions and you need some help with the answers, then firstly pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you to understand what it is Jesus wants from you. Then, if you would like to talk, contact our vocations department; we can give you some guidance on how to further discern God's calling.
