13th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Sunday, 27th June 2010
...
 

Jesus said: “Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom of God”. We live in a world in which people are finding it increasingly difficult to make a full commitment to anything. This is probably the single most important reason for many of the social ills of our society. Jesus tells us that commitment is essential to human fulfilment, the kingdom of God. When a couple gets married they are looking ahead but tend quickly to look back to what each had and so set limits to their relationship. When a couple conceive a child they look forward to the birth. Then they begin to look back to the freedom they had beforehand and try to reclaim as much of that as possible. And in parish life many people want a full part in the future of the Church but are often unwilling to commit themselves to the work involved in ensuring its success.

Ordination of Bishop-elect, Rt Rev. Mgr Liam S. 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 ring the Parochial House (88120) and leave you name. Since there is only an allocation of 10 tickets for Donagh Parish, and if there are more than 10 people interested in attending it will be necessary to put the names of those interested in a hat and pull out the ten who will represent the parish in the Cathedral on the day. However it is envisaged that the ordination of a new Bishop in the Diocese should have an impact at parish level. Resource material on the role of the bishop will be provided and the ceremony itself will be streamed live on the world wide web.
