Parish News
(Vol.33 No 18) - 12th April 2009
Easter
Sunday
We rejoice
and are glad
"Now
we are those witnesses."
People today are very reluctant to
get involved with things in the community
and in society, especially on a voluntary
basis. And yet our following of Christ
is all about getting involved and
not counting the cost. We have just
come through the journey that Christ
travelled in his passion and death,
the price of our salvation. Our responsibility
is to bring the fruits of that to
our world by bringing joy, peace,
healing, gladness, freedom, justice
and so on, beginning with those with
whom we live and spreading out to
those with whom we worship, and beyond.
Every aspect of human living needs
this more now than ever as we witness
a breakdown of marriage and family
life; growing violence in society;
increasing isolation of people in
every community. Now is the time to
live our Christian faith.
Fr. Johnny
Doherty, C.Ss.R.
Happy
Easter
The Priests
of Cappagh would like to extend to
all our parish community the joy and
blessing of the Easter Resurrection.
May we thank most sincerely all those
who participated in our Holy Week
Ceremonies. We would also like at
this time of year to extend a sincere
word of thanks to the various groups
who help to ensure the smooth running
of the parish. They are Altar Servers,
Choirs, Church cleaners, Collectors,
Counters, Flower arrangers, Liturgy
Group, Ministers of the Eucharist,
Ministers of the Word, Parish Representatives,
Sacristans, Youth Liturgy Team and
we would like to offer a special word
of thanks to our wonderful team of
fundraisers who have made a great
success of the first parish draw and
have just launched the second draw.
We will shortly be publishing the
annual financial report and you will
be able to judge for yourselves the
wonderful contribution they have made
to the funds of the parish in a time
of recession.
