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 

This weekend we celebrate Pentecost. It occurred fifty days after the feast of Passover which coincided with the death and resurrection of Jesus. Pentecost was another major feast for the Jewish people. It was known as the Feast of Weeks when Jews gathered from all over the diaspora, or the countries to which they were dispersed, to celebrate the feast in Jerusalem. It remembered the grant of the Torah or Law on Mount Sinai when God appeared in smoke and fire as he communicated the law that would guide his people for the future.

`On the occasion of Pentecost the apostles were gathered in a room in Jerusalem. There was quite a disturbance. A loud wind blew and a distinct noise filled the room where they were. There appeared to them tongues of fire that descended on them and touched the head of each of them. God was frequently represented by fire. God touches them and gives them the power to go out and continue his own ministry. The text tells us, "They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak foreign languages as the Spirit gave them the gift of speech." There was a large gathering of people from different countries and languages who had come to celebrate the feast. People from different places understood the apostles talking about "the marvels of God"

The apostles had another experience of Pentecost later on in the Acts of the Apostles and is worth noting. "As they prayed, the house where they were assembled, rocked. From this time they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim the word of God fearlessly." The Holy Spirit gave the conviction and confidence to proclaim the word of God effective-ly. In Confirmation all of us received the fit of the prophetic Spirit who enables and encourages all of us to give witness to our faith and the gospel way of life that Jesus has entrusted to us.


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

On the great feast of Pentecost, we pray for an out-pouring of the Holy Spirit on the Church and the whole world. The homily and newsletter insert focus on the importance of the Holy Spirit that comes to us with gifts that are made visible in its fruits. We feature the annual Novena for Life that coincides with the 5th anniversary of the repeal of the 8th Amendment. We include a video and an article that asks the questions that need to be faced about an issue that has not been resolved. For the Feast of Mary, Mother of the Church and the Visitation, we reflect on Mary’s role in a Church called to evangelise. Finally, in a video interview, Fr Brendan Kilcoyne reflects on the future of Ireland Catholicism and signs of hope. Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
