FRIDAY 20th OCTOBER Welcoming Babies with Disability The Anscombe Bioethics Centre, in association with the Consultative Group on Bioethics of the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference, is holding an evening public meeting discussing the issues raised following a diagnosis of foetal anomaly. Tracy Harkin, a mother whose daughter was diagnosed with Trisomy 13, will be one of the speakers along with Dr Helen Watt and Bishop Kevin. The meeting will take place on Friday, 20 October at 7.30pm in the Sheraton Hotel in Athlone.
SUNDAY 22nd OCTOBER Next Sunday is World Mission Sunday. Every person in every parish in every country where the Church is present will be celebrating together and sharing what they have, no matter how little. It is the one Sunday in the year when the Mass is celebrated exclusively for missionary activity. Donations are collected at these worldwide Masses and they go to support churches, hospitals, schools and vocations in countries where the Church is new, young or poor. In offering our prayers, we join with missionaries everywhere in communion and compassion to support them in spreading the Good News, and by giving a donation we respond to Christ's call to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. Think about it…..
“Jesus was born in a borrowed manger. He preached from a borrowed boat. He entered Jerusalem on a borrowed donkey. He ate the Last Supper in a borrowed upper room. He was buried in a borrowed tomb. Now he asks to borrow the lives of Christians to reach the rest of the world. If we do not speak, then he is dumb and silent.” (Leighton Ford)
