Today is Mission Sunday
Once a year, on Mission Sunday, the Pope asks us to show our support for missionary work in the younger Churches throughout the world. There are over 1,300 Irish born missionaries working throughout the world. We thank God for them and unite ourselves in prayer with them and with the communities with whom they work18th October 2015

Diocesan Collection this weekend 17th/18th October for the Propagation of the Faith – Throughout the Church there are many different countries where the work of Catholics needs to be supported and where the local community cannot yet provide for the needs of the local Church. Ireland has always had a very significant role to play in promoting and supporting the spread of the Good News. (Green Envelope)
ÓGRA BEO PROGRAMMEis a new Youth Ministry Initiative in the diocese. It is a faith based parish programme for young people. It is hoped it will act as a resource to parishes as they reach out to young people. ÓgraBeo is a response to the concern expressed by parishes and pastoral areas about the lack of involvement of young people in the parish. If you wish to develop the programme in your parish, a workshop for adult volunteers to familiarise them with the Resource Pack will be held on Thursday 22nd October at 7.30pm in John Paul II Pastoral Centre. Booking required 087 6484367.

Reflection
James and John were two opportunists.
Their one aim was to rise in the ranks
To achieve their end they did not hesitate to beg.
They did not mind how much envy and resentment
they aroused in their companions.
Their aim was to scramble up the career ladder.
But at what price to themselves?
If in the course of their rise to the top,
people lose themselves, their own souls,
whatever they do or achieve will be worthless.
Power hardens the human heart.
A hard-hearted person is incapable of love.
It is by giving that we receive,
and it is by serving that we grow in love.
