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.

SUMMARY OF PRIESTS ASSEMBLY

As part of the universal Church’s ongoing journey of synodality, the priests of the Diocese of Ferns met together for three days. The assembly of priests worked with facilitators on pastoral development, Scripture, lay ministry, collaboration, synodality, pastoral area formation and leadership. The work of the facilitators especially the lay participation was deeply appreciated. This work complements the synodal meetings of the wider Diocese. Priests also reflected upon the first drafts of a pastoral plan for the Diocese, which is being developed by representatives from the Council of Priests and Diocesan Pastoral Council and grew from the syntheses of communal discernment that concluded Stage 1 of the Irish Synodal Pathway. This plan looks at ways of empowering people, priests and religious to work more closely together in the proclamation of the Good News. As we continue to discern together the way forward in a time of change for parishes, we pray that Parish communities within pastoral areas continue to work together to reflect a reinvigorated communion amongst clergy and laity, an outward pastoral reach and a renewed evangelizing mission.


THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK 

 


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

This Sunday is ‘Mission Sunday’ whose theme this year is ‘Hearts on Fire, Feet on the Move’. We also have updates on how our diocese is embracing Pope Francis’ call to mission. Mission Sunday is also the day of the Pope’s annual appeal to support overseas missions and missionaries. We focus on vocations with an article on how the ministry of ordained priests supports and empowers the priesthood of all the baptised. There is news of three Vocations Conferences on zoom from 31st Oct. to 2nd Nov. and a Vocations ‘Come and See’ weekend in Maynooth from 18th to 19th November. A radio interview explores how nature praises God while the Iona Institute exposes a worrying prejudice in modern Irish society against marriage. We also put the new RSE State curriculum under the spotlight – a programme that is both challenging and one that needs to be challenged. 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.
