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 joined the despondent disciples and listened to them. ‘We had
hoped…’… When you have been upset or disappointed, who has joined you
along the road? To whom have you been able to pour out your heart? Who
was a ‘Jesus person’ to you, listening to you in respectful silence? To
whom have you been a Jesus person?
Jesus then helps them to see things in another light by opening the
scriptures to them. When did you have the experience of finding your
heart ’burning within you’ with new hope for the future? Who/what helped
you to change after a setback?
The disciples invite Jesus to join them at table– there follows a
recognition of who he is. We meet many people on the road of life.
Usually we meet and pass on. Occasionally we meet someone whom we invite
into or homes, into our hearts, in a deeper way. In what way in such
relationships have you experienced the presence of God or of Jesus?
After Jesus had gone the disciples went to bring the good news to
others. When have you met others who told what happened to them along
the road? What effect did this sharing have on you? When have you done
this with others? When was such a conversation ‘good news’ for you or
others?
THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK
The Gospel for this Third Sunday of Easter is the
encounter of the risen Lord with the despondent disciples on the road to
Emmaus. A homily on the text points to the importance of both
accompaniment of each other on the pilgrim path and the centrality of
teaching and catechesis that lifts our spirits to new horizons of hope.
Fr Tony O’ Riordan gives an update on the situation in Turkey/Syria in
the region where the terrible earthquake happened a few weeks ago. We
continue with the series ‘The Creed in Slow Motion’ and have articles on
Saints Mark and Catherine of Siena whose feast days fall this week.
Finally, two inspiring videos – the first on wanting to be a saint and
the second on what happens when we adore Jesus truly present in the
Eucharist. Check out these and other resources available at
