The
Kiss of Spring
Such is the grip of winter-we
long to escape;
such is the darkness of winter-we
yearn for the sun.
Yet, in the grip
of darkness
restless seeds struggle towards the
light;
from the darkness of the earth buds
will burst forth
and dull landscapes will be splashed
with colour.
Spring invites
us into expectation,
kisses us in anticipation,
awakens us from the quiet months
and enlivens our yearning hearts.
As life breaks
out from the earth
the Lord of Spring,
working in our hearts,
calls us to new birth.
As life breaks
out from the earth
the Lord of Spring,
working in our church,
calls us to new hope.
As life breaks
out from the earth
the Lord of Spring,
working in our world
calls us to new vitality.
The Omagh Branch of the MS

PARISH OF CAPPAGH - CHILD
PROTECTION
The Irish Bishops have requested that
all Dioceses and Parishes in Ireland
should put in place appropriate arrangements
for Child Protection.
Each Parish was asked to identify
Child Protection representatives who
will assist the local parish community
to develop good practice, policies
and procedures at local level.
The representatives for Cappagh are
Mrs Maureen McCollum and Mrs. Sheila
McCaul.
Part of their role is to organise
information sessions within the Parish
for all those working with children
and young people. The aim is to promote
awareness of the Church’s Child
Protection policies in order that
parishioners have the necessary information
and contact details for the Diocesan
Protection personnel.
The first Awareness session will
be provided for Priests, Sacristans,
adult members of parish Choirs, Volunteers
and anyone who works with young people
in parish property (with the exception
of parish schools and teaching staff).
The session will take place on Wednesday
25 April in St Mary’s School,
Killyclogher at 8pm. Everyone is welcome
but the above groups are specifically
requested to attend.
