Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time 21^st June: Focus: God knows even the hairs on our heads – we need not be afraid of anything. – Jesus exhorts: Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid.  He calls us to proclaim his words on the housetops. We know that we are never left alone, & that through God’s care & the help of the Holy Spirit we can testify to him by whose death & resurrection we are saved. Courage is a gift of the Holy Spirit.

Mass will be celebrated every day in private. If you have a Mass booked this week it will be offered in private (a public Mass can be arranged for later).

Achonry & Mullinabreena Churches are open every day 10am to 6pm for anyone wanting to visit, say a prayer or light a candle. Dispensers & sanitizer provided, please use as you enter & exit the church. Only use the seats specified as they have to be wiped down every night. The less seats used the easier that task will be. Thank you.

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Fr Paddy Kilcoyne PE Kiltamagh, & native of Oughambawn, Tubbercurry, (uncle of Joann Hosey, Achonry).

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace

RETURN TO MASS (29^th JUNE) – 20^th JULY

After the Government met on Friday 19^th June the rules on re-opening churches changed again. Numbers attending from 29^th June to 20^th July are restricted to not more than 50. Because of this restriction & having to divide the Parish into sections for this 3 week period, we are going to continue with the same regulations as we have adhered to since mid-March with a slight variation. Mass intentions booked from 29^th June to 20^th July will be celebrated but those families ONLY are asked to attend the Mass.

After July 20^th the numbers go up from 50 to 100 so by then we should be able to celebrate Mass with social distancing & without restricting attendance to different areas of the Parish on different weekends. Due to the capacity of each church & Mullinabreena (2,300 sq ft) having over twice the floor area of Achonry (1040 sq ft), all Masses will be celebrated in Mullinabreena Church until social distancing rules are somewhat relaxed.

PLEASE NOTE

• Sunday Obligation may be fulfilled by attending any weekday Mass.
• All are asked to enter the Church in single file & gathering in groups in Church Grounds is not encouraged.
• The wearing of face masks by individuals is recommended.
• The parish team will sanitise the Church after each Mass.
• The welcome team will show you to your seat. Seats will be filled starting from the front seats.
• Holy Communion will be distributed at the end of Mass; in single file & only in the hand & while observing appropriate distance.

WE LOOK FORWARD GREATLY TO BEING TOGETHER AGAIN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EUCHARIST.

Masses with a congregation

Sunday & weekday Masses with a congregation will be possible after July 20^th, provided that social distancing & upper limit of 100, & hand hygiene & proper sanitisation are observed. Social distancing will have to be adhered to in seating, in the Communion procession & in people entering & exiting churches. Hand sanitisation is now provided & seats & surfaces will be wiped down after each Mass.

SUPPORT POPE FRANCIS' COVID-19 EMERGENCY FUND
Your help is urgently needed to help overseas missionaries & vulnerable communities to defend themselves against COVID-19. In Africa, Asia & Latin America the Church is often on the frontline. In remote, inaccessible areas, it is missionaries who respond, as best they can, to the medical & pastoral needs of suffering communities. Missionaries already face too many challenges; working in over-crowded communities with no running water. In shantytowns & refugee camps where social distancing is simply impossible, & where self-isolation could mean starvation. To help protect these fragile communities, Pope Francis has announced the COVID-19 Emergency Fund. If you can, please give so that our less-fortunate brothers & sisters have a fighting chance at suppressing COVID-19. Donate by going online www.wmi.ie/covid-fund or call Fiona on 01 497 2035.

Covid 19: The number of deaths worldwide is now over 468,000, & Republic of Ireland deaths at 1,718. That’s 34,000 deaths last week.

STAY WITH US LORD

The six Western Dioceses (the Tuam Province) have planned a new initiative as part of the ongoing response to the pastoral challenge presented by COVID-19. One of the important Gospel stories of these Easter days is the account of how the two disciples met the Risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus and how they asked him: “Stay With Us Lord; it is almost Evening”. With this in mind, we are inviting you to join us for a 20 min reflection, each Sunday at 6.30 pm between now and Pentecost. Each reflection will be given by a different guest presenter & will be broadcast on webcam from a different location in the West. Sunday Prayer Time 6.30 p.m. The reflection can be accessed this week at achonrydiocese.org/staywithuslord
