THE TWO GREAT PILLARS OF THE CHURCH
On Sunday, we celebrate SS Peter and Paul. They spoke out boldly and with conviction about their faith in Jesus who said to Peter, “you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church”. John trusted Peter who finally gave his life for his beliefs.
We begin a special year in honour of St Paul. After his conversion on the road to Damascus he became an effective evangelist. He was an outstanding example of what it means to be a Christian. He, too, laid down his life for his beliefs. We may never be asked to lay down our lives but are we willing to stand up for what we believe even though we may be ridiculed? We, too, are called to be Christian witnesses! In this Vocation Year let us live our life of faith wtih courage and enthusiasm. Lord, increase our faith.
Remember, the moment you say, “I give up”, someone else is seeing
the same situation and saying, “My, what a great opportunity.”
PARISH CENTRE GOLF CLASSIC The organising committee would like to thank all who were involved with the success
of this fund raising event for our new centre. To the sponsors, golf clubs,
helpers on the day and all who entered teams, a special thanks. A full financial report
will be published in two week’s time.
A WORD OF APPRECIATION A big ‘thank you’ to all involved in the evening for Ministers of Holy Communion held in St Mary’s Parish Centre on Tuesday last. We are most grateful to our Ministers in all areas of service in the parish, for your dedication and hard work throughout the year.
Thank you for a job well done. Anyone interested in becoming involved in any ministry in YOUR Church, please contact a member of the Parish Team.

“I arise today through strength in the sky:
Light of the sun
Moon’s reflection
Dazzle of fire
Speed of lightning
Wild wind
Deep sea
Firm earth
Hard rock.
I arise today with God’s strength to pilot me
God’s might to uphold me
God’s wisdom to guide me
God’s eye to look ahead for me
God’s ear to hear me
God’s word to speak for me
God’s hand to defend me
God’s way to lie before me
God’s shield to protect me
God’s hand to safeguard me.
(John O’Donohue)
