Third Sunday in Lent – Sunday, 7th March 2010
...
 

God said to Moses: “Take off your shoes, for the place on which you stand is holy ground”. All religions designate certain places as holy places and rightly demand a certain level of reverence and respect. For ourselves as Catholics our sacred place is the church where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved. But the revelation of Christ is that the most sacred place of all is the company of another human being. He said that what we do to even the least person we do to him. Because of Christ, we are always standing on holy ground and our response always has to be one of reverence and respect. This has very far-reaching implications for us in the practice of our faith. The intimate relationship of husband and wife is a sacred place and calls for great reverence from all of us. And equally our homes and families and our faith community are places where we very often need a change of heart.

New Envelopes

This week every adult listed in the parish census should have received new envelopes, accompanied by a financial statement for 2009. While the greatest care has been taken to update the census on an on-going basis, inevitably their will be further adjustments necessary; people come and go all the time; younger parishioners complete their full time education and join the work force.

If you didn’t get your new envelopes this week;if there is an error in your address; or if someone I your household or locality needs a packet of envelopes do not hesitate to contact the parish office @ 88120.

Thanks to all parishioners for your continued support. And a special thanks to all who helped with the onerous task of distributing the envelopes.
