Cappagh Parish News
(Vol .32 No 13) - 6th April 2008

Third Sunday of Easter

 

Reflection


On the road to Eammaus, the disciples were slow to recognize Jesus or understand why he had to die and rise from the dead. Jesus explained the scriptures to them and they then recognized him in the breaking of bread. Our celebration of the Eucharist reflects their experience. We listen with open hearts to the scriptures, we hear Jesus speak to us, and we recognize and receive him in the bread which is his Body.

Eucharistic Ministers for Tyrone County Hospital
Fr. Sweeney is looking to recruit a number of parishioners to become Eucharistic Ministers to the Tyrone County Hospital for Sunday mornings. This is an urgent appeal. Without new ministers, those in hospital will not receive a visit, and will be unable to receive Holy Communion. Maybe you were once on the staff of the hospital, would you like to help out? Perhaps you have been thinking about this for a long time, but were afraid to ask, now is the time. This is a  great ministry to those in need. They need you. Do you hear that call? Is God calling to you? Doubt no longer but believe. Contact Fr. Gerry at 8224 7440, or email to gerry@cappaghparish.com or leave a message at the office with contact details.

 

Divine Mercy Group will meet on the first Sunday of each month from 3-4pm in the Cappagh Parish Centre. All are welcome to join us in this Community Prayer.

 

Readers for Killyclogher W/E 12 & 13 April: Vigil Joe Martin; 10.30am; Orla Dyson and 12noon Kieran Downey.
