The Refurbishment of St Mary’s Church now involves replacing the worn copper. We have been informed that the work will be completed by August 15th. Thank you for your patience during this time.
Thought for the Day: Our times have an air of instability and everyone feels the sense of upheaval and unpredictability. Fear is perfectly understandable. Something similar may be said of our lives as believers. From a “church” point of view, we wonder who will be in church in the coming years and who will preside at the Lord’s Supper. From a personal point of view, familiar faith affirmations seem no longer as tenable as they were. And yet, at the centre of the faith project stands not my condition or even my faith, but all that God did for us Jesus’ death and resurrection. As Paul exclaims who will (or can) separate us from the love of God in Christ? Prayer: I love you, Lord, my rock, my fortress, my refuge. Help me to take hold of the hand you stretch out in Jesus. Amen.
(Fr Kieran O’Mahony)
Pope Leo XIV on X: In this time, so harshly marked by the violence of war and social unrest, many people wonder what the world in which their grandchildren will grow up will be like. I urge you, dear grandparents and elderly people, to join me in praying earnestly that peace may soon come to the whole world.
