TWENTY FOUR HOUR ADORATION

On Sunday next, June 11th, the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, at 5:00 pm a twenty four hour period of Adoration begins. There will be a brief ceremony to mark the start of the Adoration and it is hoped that people of the whole parish, including Kilmysahall, will spend one hour before the Blessed Sacrament in Adoration. Sheets will be left at the end of the churches to enable people to select a suitable time for them-selves. It is hoped that people will be very generous, especially in selecting difficult hours. The focus of the period of Adoration is to pray intensely for vocations to priesthood and Religious Life in the diocese of Ferns.

The Adoration will take place in the church. All are encouraged to drop into the church and spend good time in prayer during the period of Adoration for the purpose mentioned. The Adoration will continue through Sunday night and all day Monday apart from Mass time. There will be a brief ceremony to conclude the adoration at 7:45 p.m. on Monday evening. May this be a great time of blessing for the whole parish.

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 

Jesus tells us that to have life we need more than physical nourishment. How have you been aware of deeper hungers? What has met that deeper longing in you?
Jesus tells us that it is not just something he gives us which will give us life, but himself in his life, death and resurrection. How has your faith in the person of Jesus fed you?
Jesus speaks about ‘drawing life’ from him. In day to day living what are the practices which support your faith and help you to draw life from Jesus?
The Eucharist is one of the ways in which we draw life from Jesus. Recall with gratitude how the Eucharist has been a source of nourishment and life for you. ~
Perhaps you can also think of human examples of people drawing life from one another. From whom have you drawn life ? Who has been able to draw life from you?


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

The great feast of Corpus Christi this Sunday is a time to give thanks for the gift of the Eucharist and its place in the life of every Christian and faith community. We have a homily and the newsletter insert on this sublime sacrament. The new census statistics seem to show faith in Ire-land is in retreat – or is it? An article explores. We have a reflection on devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the feast on 16th June which is also the ‘World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests’. We feature a new video on the life of the late Donal Walsh whose tenth anniversary passed on 12th May. Finally, a few tips on how we can help change a culture of contempt and not succumb to polarisation and division. Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com


PARISH MISSION STATEMENT

  • The Parish of Bunclody/Kilmyshall shall be a community:
  • Of renewed faith and commitment to Christ expressed in prayer and genuine Eucharistic worship where all participate fully.
  • With deep respect for and interest in each and every person.
  • Flourishing in love, care, support, co-operation, education and communication, building to the unity of the Body of Christ.
  • Reaching out the hand of welcome to all who do not belong to our faith and worshipping community.
