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 27th September : A society that neglects children and marginalises the elderly severs its roots and darkness its future
                                                                                                                       

Tuesday 28th September : Every time a child is abandoned, and an elderly person cast out, not only is it an act of injustice, but it also ensures the failure of society

Wednesday 29th September:  Caring for little ones and for our elders is a choice for civilisation. And also for the future, because the little ones, the children, the young people will carry society forward by their strength, their youth, and the elderly people will carry it forward by their wisdom, their memory, which they must give to us all.


Thursday 30th September:  The care given to the elderly like that of children, is an indicator of the quality of a community.


October

Family Values

Listening & dialogue


Listen, my son to your father’s instruction

and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

Proverbs1:8


Friday 1st October: Saying “thank you” is such an easy thing, and yet so hard! How often do we say ‘thank you” to one another in families? These are essential words for our life in common: “sorry,” “excuse me,” “thank you,” If families can say these three things, they will be fine.


Saturday 2nd October:   In the light of God’s Word. I would like to ask you, dear families, do we pray together from time to time as a family? Some of you do. I know. But so many people say to me, but how can we?

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.
