Bunclody ICA - New members needed

It is 70 years since ICA was started in Bunclody. The guild has always been very active in the parish for all those years. We want to keep that tradition alive. But, due in no small way to Covid 19 and the demographic ageing of our members, we are desperately looking for new members to join our guild. We meet once a month and have a guest speaker. Sometimes have various crafts, etc at our meeting. We also meet once a month for coffee and chat in local restaurant. Sadly, if we do not get new members, we may have to close the guild. If you have 2 hours to spare, once a month, and to keep the guild open, which was kept going by so many wonderful women in the past.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK 

The healing of the deaf mute provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the importance of communication in our lives. The healing touch of Jesus brought the man from isolation into community. Who have been the people who touched you when you felt isolated and alone (perhaps during the Covid lockdown) and helped you to come out of painful aloneness? For whom have you done this?

Deafness is symbolic of being unable to hear what is being said to us. What difference when our ears are opened! Perhaps you can recall a time when your ears were opened, and you heard in a new way that you were loved - by God or by another person.

Words are not the only form of communication. Actions can speak louder than words. Recall times when this was brought home to you.

Being able to say what is in you is the other side of communication. Perhaps there have been occasions when you have struggled to find words to express what is deepest in you - your faith, your values, your love. Then something changed and you found the words. What was it like to be able to express your deepest self?

Speaking your truth and listening to the truth of others is central to Pope Francis, synodal process. What difference does it make to your faith community when people can speak honestly and listen respectfully?


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

Niav McNamara and Michael Kelly are two of 27 people from our diocese who are about to begin a two-year theology course through St Patrick’s College, Maynooth in preparation for ministry as a catechist and/or pastoral care worker. We met up with them to talk about their journey so far and their hopes for the course. We include Pope Francis’ message for the ‘Season of Creation’ that began last Sunday and offer a defence of the very concept of human nature and the hu-man body. The Feast Day of St John Chrysostom on 13th September is an opportunity to share some of his writing on social justice. We have an article to mark the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross on 14th September and finally, a talk by Sr Mary Grace on how to live in peace at all times.

Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
