Eucharistic
Congress June 2012 |
Since
Pope Benedict XVI announced that the 50th International Eucharistic Congress will
be held in Dublin in June 2012, people have been asking "what exactly is
a Eucharistic Congress and what is its purpose?" A
Eucharistic Congress is an international gathering of people which aims to:
- promote an awareness of the central place of the Eucharist in the life and mission
of the ..Catholic Church - help improve our understanding and celebration
of the liturgy - draw attention to the social dimension of the Eucharist. These
aims are achieved through a programme of liturgical and cultural events, lectures
and workshops over a number of days every four years. The most recent Congress
was held in Quebec in 2008 and was a source of renewal for the many thousands
who took part. Most
people in Ireland are familiar with the fact that a Eucharistic Congress was held
in Ireland in 1932. Our parents and grand-parents speak of it as a significant
event in their own experience of Church. Some pupils in secondary school have
undertaken special history projects on the Eucharistic Congress in preparation
for their Leaving Certificate. Improvements
in travel since 1932 will provide a greater international perspective to the 2012
Congress. Technology will play an important part too in preparations but the most
valuable aspect of the coming years is the sense of faith which can be kindled
in the families and in every parish throughout the country. Go

Be Proud to Practise your Faith
|
Bishop Buckley has urged us all to be proud of our Faith this Lent and has asked parents to realize the key role they play in handing on that Faith to their children.
'We should be proud of our faith. Faith is not to be limited to a corner of our life. Our faith should inform everything we do.'
Bishop Buckley also suggested that families might light a Year of Faith Candle in their homes and have family prayer or join a parish pilgrimage.
‘We must also gently remind people, who are not close to the Church that the Lord is waiting for them, longing for them to come to Him.' |

Welcome to the Holy Family Church! Céad Míle Fáilte!
|
You are most welcome to our church, named after the Holy Family of Nazareth; Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
The church became part of the Catholic tradition in 1949. Over the altar there is a silhouette painting of the Holy Family with the child Jesus at the centre of the family. Over the years since 1949, and indeed before 1949 when the church was part of the Methodist tradition, many families have worshipped here, have been baptized here, received their 1 st Holy Communion and Confirmation here, were married here and when they died they had their funeral Mass here…the church echoes with families…some of which are still alive and present in today's congregations.
In this Year of Faith let us pray that all our family members may continue to worship here and to grow in Faith. For those family members who have dropped off their journey of Faith, we pray that they may be inspired to return “home” …home to their faith, to their worship of God and that the Holy Family community may continue to grow and flourish in these difficult days.
May faith be the heart of this parish, the heart of this community …under the loving protection of the Holy Family of Nazareth; Jesus, Mary and Joseph. |
Prayer and Stillness |
When you give yourself to prayer, if you are, as far as possible free from all distraction, and if the verse comes suddenly to a halt on your tongue and immobilises your soul in the silence, and if, independently of your will, this silence remains in you, be sure you have entered the peace you seek' – St Augustine |
Holy Family Choir- Singers and Musicians Required |

Holy Family History |
The ‘new' translation of the Roman Missal and the People's Responses were ‘launched' successfully last weekend. In the Holy Family sacristy there is the original Latin Missal that was used for the very first Mass there on 23 rd October, 1949. On the inside of the book it says that this Missal was donated by ‘Dora and May Byrne'. I wonder do any of the Holy Family parishioners know who these very generous sisters were or their family? Any info. to the Sacristy or to Sean Dunne.
|
Choir and Cantors and General Singing! |
The participation of the congregation in the singing of the hymns at Mass is going from strength to strength and this is wonderful for the celebration of the Mass!

New members are always welcome! Give yourselves a Big Bualadh Bas!
