30th Sunday in Ordinary Time 28th October: Focus: Just as Jesus restored sight to the blind man, our faith in him opens our eyes to truth & eternal life in Christ. – The story of Jesus healing the blind man speaks powerfully to us. Your faith has saved you, Jesus tells him. The man, with his sight restored, follows Jesus. May our faith & determination give us sight as well, that we may also know & follow God in our daily lives.

 

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Bridgie Johnston, Muckelty.   

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace

WEEKEND MASSES: From 1st January 2019 there will be one Saturday vigil Mass at 8pm (as usual), but there will only be one Sunday morning Mass, this will alternate each month for the foreseeable future at 10am. Many areas throughout the country have lost Masses, had churches closed or parishes amalgamated, none of this was due, however, to lack of vocations or shortage of priests, but was caused by lack of a congregation.
