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 meets the disciples for the last time. His final words give them direction for their future. Perhaps you can recall such parting moments in your own life—leaving home, school, college, or the death of a loved one. Was there an occasion when the words spoken to you gave you direction for the future?

Perhaps you can identify with Jesus in the story, when as a parent, teacher, or in some other way you sent someone on his/her way in life, knowing that you would not be with him or her as in the past. When did the way you parted help the other to make his or her way in life?

Despite this extraordinary encounter with Jesus some of the disciples doubted. Dealing with questions and doubt is part of an adult faith journey. How have your questions and doubts helped to shape the faith you have today?

Jesus commissioned this collection of believing and doubting disciples to carry on his work. We inherit that mission today. How do you see yourself as commissioned to continue the mission of Jesus?

Jesus told his disciples that although he would not be physically with them, he would be with them in a new way right through their life. Have there been times when you were reassured by the love and support of another even though s/he was not physically present with you? What are the things that help you to be aware of the presence of the risen Jesus with you on life’s journey?


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

This week marks the 5th anniversary of the vote that led to the legalisation of abortion in Ireland. The Irish Bishops have released a statement that analyses some of the developments since then and encourages people of faith to change the narrative around the tragedy of abortion. We include Pope Francis’ message for ‘World Communications Day’ in which he invites us to speak from the heart with truth and love. We also include a recent talk by Pope Francis to farmers in which he reminds them that they are the ‘first ecologists’ and outlines that farming is not just a job but a vocation. We continue with the video series on the creed and explore how single Catholics can meet their future spouses.

Finally, we explore the life of St Philip Neri who teaches us the value of not taking ourselves too seriously. 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.
