Parish Bulletin for Sunday 11th June 2006

 

The Most Holy Trinity

We talk about wearing ‘different hats’ or filling ‘different roles’ or even ‘multi-tasking’. Maybe today’s feast in honour of the Trinity is set aside for such hurried, harried souls. The more wisdom and years accumulate on our shoulders, the more we realize in our various relationships that you can’t know everything about a person; be they spouse, parent, sibling or friend. There is always that great unknown area. All our personal knowledge of another is just that – personal, from our own personal and limited viewpoint. Still, some approach the Trinity like it’s a crossword puzzle – something you can ultimately solve. However just like our ordinary loving relationships it’s a mystery not puzzle, a reality you ultimately stand in awe before.
One woman put it very well.

‘I am a daughter, a wife and a mother – Three things, yet I am one totality.
To my parents, I would always be their child,
To my husband, a companion and a mate,
To my children, the one who gave them birth and nurtured them till they reached adult state.
I seem to each of them a different person;
They each know a different kind of ‘me’,
But I am one, within myself a Trinity,
And each of them finds unity in me.’

Welcome To Streetreach

Thirty young people from Street Reach will work in our parish community from Wednesday 5th July to Saturday 9th July. They arrive at 12.30pm and usually work until about 9.30pm in the evening. We will provide lunch and an evening meal for them in the Glen Community Centre. They will be involved in cleaning streets, removing graffiti and litter in various streets around the parish. They will also be arranging activities for children and senior citizens. There may be small ways in which parishioners can help and we will ask for your help at a later date when arrangements have been finalised.

Coffee/Tea Morning

Fiona McMahon, one of our parishioners, under the Auspices of ‘Serve’ Redemptorist Community, is going to Africa to work with women and children who are innocent victims of H.I.V. She has asked for our prayers to help her in this work.

Fiona also needs a lot of financial help and to this end a Coffee/Tea Morning is being held in the church hall on Saturday 17th June from 10.30am – 12noon. Please come along and bring your friends and neighbours, your support and generosity are needed. All donations will be gratefully received.
