MASS TIMES 20th April – 26th April 2015 FEAST DAYS Monday 20th Apr Tuesday 21st Apr Wednesday 22nd Apr Thursday 23rd Apr Friday 24th Apr Saturday 25th Apr Sunday 26th Apr CHAPEL CHAPEL 7am* 7am 7am 7am 7am 9am 9am CHURCH 9am 9am 9am 8.30am 8am/9:30am/ 11am/5.45pm * Liturgy of the Word and Holy Communion Fr Joe writes: Moment by Moment The choices of each moment are the building blocks that form us to be who we are. The moments of each day present us with options – the option to respond to someone’s needs or to ignore them; the option to trust in God or to trust only in ourselves; the option to indulge in a harmful habit or to liberate ourselves and be free. Many moments each day bring possibilities without affecting us because often we are only half awake. We can deepen the sense of being alive, but only if we pay some attention to what we are feeling at the present moment, recapture what was good from the past, and broaden our vision as to what is possible in the future. Let us pray: “Risen Lord, I thank you for the renewal gift of life. May I deepen my experience of this gift you have given. Amen.” May the blessing of our Risen Lord continue to be with you and all your loved ones throughout this coming week. Happy Easter! SUNDAY 19TH APRIL 2015 PARISH NOTICES 1.
