LEARNING ABOUT THE MASS WITH KATH AND QUMEN
INTRODUCTORY RITES: THE PENITENTIAL ACT
This time in the Mass offers us an opportunity to prepare to receive Eucharist by reflecting on the things that we might have done, or not done, during the past week for which we need forgiveness.
We are reminded that God always loves us. One of the ways in which God shows this love is by always forgiving us for those times when we haven’t been as good as we might have been. Sometimes the priest may replace
the Penitential Act with the blessing and sprinkling of water as a reminder
of our Baptism.

Visit of Comboni Missionaries
We welcome Fr Antonio of the Comboni Missionaries this weekend, who will speak at all the Masses about their work in different parts of the world.
They would like to take a collection to help them in their work. They were founded in Italy in 1867 to go on mission, mainly to Central Africa, by Fr Daniel Comboni, who was canonised in 2003.
Nowadays they have religious, secular & lay missionaries worldwide.

LEARNING ABOUT THE MASS WITH KATH AND QUMEN
WHAT THE PRIEST WEARS
The special clothes that the priest wears for Mass are called vestments. There are three different pieces which he needs to put on. Over his ordinary clothes the priest puts on a white or cream coloured tunic called an alb. Then he puts on a long piece of coloured cloth which looks like a scarf and is called a stole. Over the alb and the stole he puts on his chasuble. The colour of the stole and the chasuble is very important. It tells us what season we are in or what special occasion we are celebrating in the Church year. There are four main colours worn during main colours worn during the year: green, purple, red and white.

Three frogs sat on a log and two decided to jump off. How many frogs were left on the log? One?
Although most people answer "one," the correct answer is "three." Just because the frogs decided to jump off the log does not necessarily mean that they actually did jump.
Is there a gap between what you decide to do and what you actually do?
