NINETEENTH SUNDAY (YEAR A) 10th AUGUST 2008
Dear Parishioners,
‘God speaks in a gentle breeze. Jesus spoke to the storm and there followed a great
calm. God spoke to Elijah in the whisper of a gentle breeze. In every aspect of our life,
especially in moments of great trial, God speaks to us in Christ if only we will listen to
His voice.’
This weekend we welcome Father Lawrence. He will be making the annual Mission
appeal on behalf of the Xaverian Missions.
This Friday is the Solemnity of the Assumption. Please note the times of Masses on this
Holy Day of Obligation. The Dominion Car Park will remain open until 10.30pm.
After the 7.00pm Mass on Friday we would like to have a Video showing in the Parish
Hall and to serve some refreshments. We hope that you will be able to come along. The
video showing will be about Our Lady’s apparitions at Fatima.
Holy Hour of Friday evening will be 5.45pm-6.45pm.
If you would like to participate in either of the pilgrimages taking place: The
Association of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Rosary Rally Sunday 17th August; and
Annual Harvington Pilgrimage Sunday 31st August. (See details inside Newsletter)
would you please sign your name on the forms available in either porch.
We will soon be using lockable bags for our Sunday Offertory Collection, as instructed
by the Diocesan Treasurer.
We wish you all the blessings of this holiday period and hope that you may find
refreshment and rest in the gift of Christ’s undying friendship.

O most holy Virgin Mary,
always present before the most holy Trinity,
to whom it is granted at all times
to pray for us to your most blessed Son,
pray for me in all my needs, Help me,
defend me, give thanks for me, and obtain
for me the pardon of all my sins and failings.
Help me especially in my last hours.
Then, when I can no longer give any
sign of the use of reason, give me
courage and protect me against all evil
spirits. Make in my name a profession of faith.
Assure me of my eternal salvation.
Never let me despair of the mercy of God.
Help me to overcome the evil spirits.
When I can no longer say, ‘Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I place
my soul in your hands,’ say it for me.
When I can no longer hear human words of consolation,
bring me comfort. Stay with me when I stand in judgement before your Son.
If I have to do penance for my sins in
purgatory, pray for me after my death.
Inspire my friends to pray for me, and
thus help gain for me very soon the
happiness of being in the presence of God.
Lead my soul to heaven where,
united with all the elect, I may bless and praise
God and yourself for all eternity. Amen.
St.John Vianney
Please pray for: James Fagan who died recently; also Hughie Cooney,
Bernard Ereaut, Victor Ruffieux, Francis Rooney, Peter Gertner, Georgina Herraty
and Joseph Patton whose anniversaries are at this time
