A HUGE THANK YOU to gerry

On behalf of the Parish Pastoral Council, all the clergy, past and present and all parishioners, we wish to extend our sincere gratitude to our Sacristan Gerry Faulkner, who has retired this week.

Gerry has served this parish over the last 40 years. During his time Gerry served on our first Parish  Pastoral Council, as an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist, Church collector and numerous other tasks as required.  Gerry has served for the last 9 years as our Church Sacristan, a role which he carried out with enormous diligence and faith. We wish Gerry a very happy retirement filled with many      blessings.

We would like to welcome our new Sacristan Sinéad Leahy and wish her all the best as she serves our parish in this role.

Prayer of the Synod

We stand before You, Holy Spirit,

as we gather together in Your name.

With You alone to guide us,

make Yourself at home in our hearts;

Teach us the way we must go

and how we are to pursue it.

We are weak and sinful;

do not let us promote disorder.

Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path

nor partiality influence our actions.

Let us find in You our unity

so that we may journey together to eternal life

and not stray from the way of truth

and what is right.

All this we ask of You,

who are at work in every place and time,

in the communion of the Father and the Son,

forever and ever. Amen.

BLESSED CARLO ACUTIS EXHIBITION OF EUCHARISTIC MIRACLES

Will be on display in our Church from this weekend until Wednesday 28th July. We welcome Bishop Michael Router celebrant of our Saturday evening Vigil Mass, who will officially open the exhibition. The exhibition will be officially closed at the 10.00am Mass on Wednesday 28th July and Archbishop Eamon Martin will be the main celebrant at this Mass. The exhibition will be open for all to visit during Church opening times:- Monday –Saturday 10.30am-1.30pm.

Carlo Acutis (3 May 1991 – 12 October 2006)

Carlo Acutis was an English-born Italian Catholic youth and amateur computer programmer, who is best known for documenting Eucharistic miracles

around the world and cataloguing them onto a website, miracolieucaristici.org, that he created before his death from leukaemia. Carlo’s love,

appreciation, and reverence for the Eucharist were exceptional. “The Eucharist is my highway to Heaven!” he would say. And “If we get in front of the sun,

we get sun tans, but when we get in front of Jesus in the Eucharist, we become Saints.” He prayed the Rosary and never missed daily Mass, even when (from the age of 11), he began visiting Eucharistic miracles

all over the world with his parents, documenting them. A “computer genius” and possible future patron saint of the internet, by age fourteen he had created a Eucharistic Miracle display that would tour the world,

along with a website. He believed that if people knew that Jesus was truly in the Eucharist, they would turn to God.

ministry

In Holy Redeemer Parish we encourage and welcome active participation from all parishioners. This is your parish, you belong here and your role is significant to its life and survival. We encourage all, young and old to actively participate in the liturgies and upkeep of the Church.

Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world. You can take part in any number of ministries which we have. Become more involved by saying yes and signing up for at least one ministry. You have many gifts and talents which God has given to you, so don't be shy and share them with your parish. Like colours of the rainbow each Ministry adds light, life and beauty to our Church.

We provide training and information for all ministries, so don't think you won't know what to do as we will help you along the way. It's great to be part of a team and ministry is an excellent way to participate as a member of a team and provide and an essential service to your faith community. Remember we are all called to serve not to be served.

Each ministry has its own unique gifts and characteristics; each ministry challenges us in a different way. It's not easy for some people to be in the public eye but the challenge brings with it its own rewards and graces.

There are many ministries which you may consider joining, Eucharistic Minister,  Reader, Altar Server, Altar Society, Music Ministry and Choir, Dues Collectors, Distributors, Legion of Mary to name but a few. Remember that no ministry is greater or above another, all are parts working together in harmony. Be brave and say Yes! Simply contact the parish office or any of the priests and let us do the rest.

Let me finish with a words from St. Teresa of Avila

"Christ has no body but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. "
