Mission Sunday Snippets
“This (the Philippines) is the place where I have most experienced a sense of being in touch with God and the people. My home town is Dunmore, Co. Galway. It has a ruined Augustinian abbey. The first missionaries to this region were Augustinians. In my grandmother’s house in Dunmore there was a photo of Peter Fallon, one of five Columban priests exectued by the Japanese here when they over-ran the Philippines in 1945. He was here brother-in-law.
Fr. John Leydon, Columban missionary.
“Family catechetics – preparing people for the Sacraments – was a major part of our pastoral ministry here in Chile. Sr. Kathleen Mary Riordan guided programmes caring for people suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction. Sr. Angela McKeever has worked in a prison, helping to mend the fractured lives of the victims of drugs and those suffering AIDS. This is an uphill struggle. I and others worked in the northern region of the Andes mountains. God’s mission lives on in the faith of the communities we helped to birth. To God be the glor
Sr. Ita McElwain, Columban missionary.
“The Church missionary needs to facilitate the experience of God.” Fr. Seamus Cullen, Cavan & Japan.
Collection for the Missions
Taking account of your very generous support of the Church Repair Fund, we will not hold a Collection for the Missions this year. Instead we will divert some of your Offertory donations to the Missions. But you might like to add a euro or two. Thank you.
Planned Giving
A big “Thank You” to all parishioners who give substantial contributions to parish funds through the Planned Giving envelopes. These donations assist greatly with the week-to-week, month-to-month running of the parish and its obligations.
