Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading : Nehemiah 8: 2-6.8-10
After Jesus returned from exile in Babylon, Ezra
sought to re-establish the Jewish religion. Here,
he reads the book of the law of Moses to the people.
Second Reading: Corinthians 12: 12-30
Just as the human body is one though made up of
many parts, so the Church, though composed of
different members with different gifts, form a
unity in Christ.
Gospel: Luke 1: 1-4; 4: 14-21
Gods’ promises are fulfilled in Jesus, the
long awaited Saviour of the poor and oppressed.

New Eucharistic Ministers
It is hoped to
complete the process of recruiting and training a new
team of Eucharistic Ministers by the end of March. Already
there are more than thirty volunteers but with three
Parish Masses each weekend we still need more. Ideally
we will need fifty to sixty candidates. The current
Eucharistic Ministers as well as members of the Parish
Pastoral and Finance Committees are doing excellent
work inviting suitable candidates. However, there may
be some more parishioners who would like to take part
in this ministry but have never been asked. Volunteer
yourself by contacting Fr. Hubert Martin at 047 –
88120.
Positive Parenting
– Shane Martin:
Would you like
to help your child grow into a positive person? We are
very fortunate to have psychologist Shane Martin available
to come to give 2 talks to parents on this subject.
Over the course of two nights he will examine the challenges
of parenting through the life of a child, and uncover
what makes children stronger, more fulfilled and happier.
Session 1 on
Monday 25 January will cover the challenges of parenting
through the teenage years and Session 2 will deal with
positive parenting - a new approach. Both nights are
in the Art room in the Leisure Centre in Emyvale at
8.30pm. All parents and guardians welcome. Fee: No Charge
for these two nights
