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: We do have the saying, “goodness is its own reward” and that, no doubt, is true. We don’t do good to be rewarded but simply because it is good. At the same time, goodness leads to goodness and kindness inspires kindness. This can be true at the most mundane level: if I am courteous and obliging, say, as a driver, perhaps others on the road will be inspired to be obliging and courteous in their turn. It is even more true at a higher level. Generosity of spirit inspires the same in others. Prayer: Help us, Lord, to be kind and generous in our dealings with others today following the example of Jesus. Amen. (Fr Kieran O’Mahony)
Pope Leo XIV on X: It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security.
