Parish News
(Vol.32 No 24) - 15th June 2008
Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Our
Calling
“The harvest
is great but the labourers are few.”
When we look at the world we live
in we mainly see problems. When Jesus
looks at the same world he sees possibilities.
When we think of labourers we think
mainly of priests/religious. When
Jesus thinks of labourers he thinks
of people who live by love. And there
are potentially very many of those
kinds of people among us. There are
wonderful people in every community
who give themselves quietly in the
service of others week in week out.
There are many parents who work hard
at handing on the gift of faith to
their children. Are you among those?
There are married couples who treasure
their marriage as a vocation and work
hard at developing their marriage
as a light for the world. How do you
see your vocation? What are you willing
to put into it?
Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.

June, 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Parish Missal Readings
(Year 1) p 302 & Proper p 1062
First Reading
Exodus: 19: 2-6
God has shown his love for the Israelites
by choosing them to be our very own
people. They must respond in kind.
Second Reading
Romans 5: 6-11
God showed his great love for us by
the fact that Christ died for us while
we were still sinners.
Gospel Matthew
9: 36-10:8
Here we see the compassion Jesus had
for the ordinary people in their suffering.
THE POPE'S INTENTIONS FOR
JUNE 2008
General:
That Christians may cultivate a deep
and personal friendship with Christ
so they are able to communicate the
strength of his love to those they
encounter.
Mission:
That the International Eucharistic
Congress in Quebec, Canada, may lead
to ever deeper understanding of the
Eucharist, the heart of the Church
and source of evangelisation.
Bless, O God,
our families.
Give to those
who care for us the spirit of understanding
and the spirit of love, that our homes
may be places of peace and laughter.
Come into our
homes, O Lord,
and protect us with your love,
so that we may live in peace and rejoice
in the quiet
beauty of your blessing. AMEN
Fathers
are wonderful people
Fathers are wonderful
people,
too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
as often as we should,
For Father struggles daily
to live up to his image
As protector and provider
and hero of the scrimmage,
And perhaps that is the reason
we sometimes get the notion
That fathers are not subject
to the thing we call emotion.
But if you look inside Dad's heart,
where no one else can see,
You'll find he's sentimental
and soft as he can be.
Fathers are just wonderful
in a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
and accolades of praise,
For the only reason Dad aspires
to fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
and bring them happiness,
And like our heavenly Father,
he's a guardian and a guide,
Someone we can count on
to be always on our side
The Annual Mass for the Pioneers
will take place on Thursday 26th June
at Christ The King at 7.30 p.m. Anyone
who believes they are eligible for
Gold, Silver or full pins or wishing

themselves known to any member on
