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 recognised that his disciples were not capable of taking in everything at once. Wisdom about life comes slowly and sometimes painfully. Hearing the “right” answer at the “wrong” time does not help us. We need to be ready and pen to receiving the truth if it is to have any impact. Perhaps you can recall some occasions when it was the “right” time for you to learn a truth about life. Remember your experiences of growth in understanding.

The Spirit can guide us to understanding in different settings. Understanding may have come to you when you were praying or reflecting on your life. Perhaps the Spirit guided you through the words of someone close to you, or through words and actions of people you read about or saw on TV. Remember and give thanks for the people who have helped you to greater wisdom in life.

The Spirit also speaks to us through “the signs of the times”. The church has lived through a troubled decade or two, and society has been through turbulent times with the climate crisis, political unrest, wars and forced migration. How do you think the Spirit is speaking to us at this time?

Wisdom is handed on from person to person, and from generation to generation, within families, within communities, etc. are there any particular gems of wisdom that you cherish from what has been handed on to you? What wisdom would you like most of all to pass on to those lose to you


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

We have arrived at the great feast of Pentecost Sunday, the birth of the Church. We offer newsletter inserts and a homily for this great feast. We include an encouraging letter from Pope Francis to priests that emerged from the recent ‘Parish Priests for the Synod’ conference in Rome. We feature the Novena Prayer for Life that runs from 23rd to 31st May and an article on how we can evangelise culture in a way that makes a difference. ‘The New Atheism and the Meaning Crisis’ is a must see video with Justin Brierly that investigates how lack of belief has spawned a massive crisis of meaning in peoples’ lives. We have an article by Sean O’Leary on vocations and an open letter to Leaving Cert students as they prepare for their exams, to leave Secondary School and turn a new page of their lives.


PARISH MISSION STATEMENT

  • The Parish of Bunclody/Kilmyshall shall be a community:
