September

We Are Family

Heritage of Faith



Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6



Monday 13th September : Today too, children are crying, they are crying a lot, and their crying challenges us. In a world which daily discards tons of food and medicine, there are children, hungry and suffering from easily curable diseases, who cry out in vain.
                                                                                                                       

Tuesday 14th September : In an age which insists on the protection of minors, there is a flourishing trade in weapons which end up in the child-shoulders: there is a ready market for goods produced by the slave labour of small children.

Wednesday 15th September:  When families bring children into the world, train them in faith and sound values, and teach them to contribute to society, they become a blessing in our world.


Thursday 16th September:  I find there are paths for young people, for children, and the little ones: the path of education, the path of sports and the path of work, when there are jobs for young people to start with!


Friday 17th September: So many young people spend their lives spaced out on drugs and noise, because they have no direction, because no one told them that there was something great!


Saturday 18th September:  In the being and vocation of every Christian is personal encounter with the Lord. To seek God is to seek his face, to enter into his intimacy.

If you wish to sign up for Gift Aid. It is a great way to help the parish financially, costing you absolutely nothing. If you wish to sign up contact myself or Doreen Lee and we will give you the form and hand it back as you can and we can get it organised. As I said it costs you nothing, but helps the parish so much.

I am looking for Volunteers to move the power-points on during the Sunday Masses, Vigil 4pm, 9.30am & 11am. It is very easy to operate, if we get enough volunteers for each Mass we would put a wee rota together. It would take a wee bit of pressure off me.
