Always remember... “The trouble with being punctual is that nobody’s there to appreciate it.” “Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don’t have film.” Just because nobody complains doesn’t mean all parachutes are perfect.” ü“Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.” “Borrow money from a pessimist - they don’t expect it back.” “A good lawyer knows the law; a clever one takes the judge to lunch.” “Nobody goes there anymore because it’s too crowded.” “Sometimes the road less travelled is less traveled for a very good reason.” “Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.”

EAST AFRICA APPEAL—2nd Collection Today
Bishop Francis has asked that an Emergency Collection in aid of Trócaire’s work in East Africa will take place in our Parish on the weekend 22nd- 23rd July. Nearly 25 million people in Somalia, Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia are currently in urgent need of food and water due to drought. Trócaire is reaching over 150,000 people across the region with emergency food, water and sanitation.Needs are enormous - please support our appeal and help us reach more people with life-saving aid.
Post- Communion Reflection: (The following prayer is often attributed to St Teresa of Calcutta It was more likely to have originated within the Order of the Missionaries of Charity which she founded) Lord, when I am hungry, give me someone in need of food; when I am thirsty, send me someone needing a drink; when I am cold, send me someone to warm; when I am grieved, offer me someone to console; when my cross grows heavy, let me share another’s cross; when I think only of myself, draw my thoughts to another
