14th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Sunday, 4th July 2010
...
 

Jesus said to his disciples: “The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into his harvest”. When we think about our world today we are inclined to think primarily of the evil that is undoubtedly there. Jesus’ perception is just the opposite as he sees the wonderful opportunities that are all around us. And when we think of labourers for the harvest we are inclined to think primarily of priests and religious and we pray for more vocations. That, of course, is a very important thing to do. But even more importantly we need to think of ourselves as the labourers and take up the challenge to be apostles of Christ in our everyday lives. We are apostles of Christ through the generosity of our love in marriage and family life and in our willingness to build a community of faith and generosity in our parish. Vocations to the priesthood and religious life can only come from generous homes and generous parishes.

Ordination of Bishop-elect, Rt Rev Mgr Liam MacDaid:

The ordination will take place in St. Macartan’s Cathedral on Sunday 25th July at 3.00pm. A limited number of tickets have boon allocated to each parish. If you would like to attend the ordination ring the Parochial House (88120) and leave you name. If there are more than 10 people from Donagh Parish interested in attending it will be necessary to put the names in a hat and pull out the ten who will represent the parish in the Cathedral on the day. (There is only an allocation of 10 tickets for Donagh Parish.) However, as the ordination of a new Bishop in the Diocese concerns everybody an effort is being made by Mgr Mac Daid to reach as many people as possible across the diocese. Resource material on the role of the bishop will be sent to each parish; and the ceremony will be streamed live on the web.
