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 people were searching and John pointing them in the direction of Jesus. On your life’s journey who have been the John the Baptist people for you, people who have pointed you in the right direction?

The baptism of Jesus was a very special moment for him that affirmed him in his identity as Son of God and in his mission. Recall the experiences that affirmed you –either in your sense of who you are, or in relation to the direction you were taking in life.

The Baptism of Jesus marks a transition point in his life, and the start of his public ministry. Recall the transition points in your own life. Where did you see the grace of God at work in those times?

This experience of Jesus 0ccured when he was at prayer. What part has prayer played in preparing you to be aware of God in your life? What part has prayer played in helping you through a transition point in your life?


THE HOOK OF FAITH

This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord which opens a window of light to see our own dignity and vocation. A homily and an article explores the connection between the Lord’s baptism and ours. In this Jubilee Year as ‘Pilgrims of Hope’,

Bishop Niall Coll offers a reflection on what hope looks like. ‘Fan into a Flame’ is the new document on the Ministry of Catechist in Ireland that we include along with promotion videos. Garda Commissioner Drew Harris explains the fight against human trafficking and how we can help. Historian Tom Holland explains how Christianity re-made the world and an article from Word on Fire explains how we need to face up to the vice of a technocratic age. Finally, for the feast of St Anthony of the Desert on 17th January, we have the second part of an article that reveals the wisdom of the Desert Fathers. Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
