COLLECTORS AUGUST: Sat: Paul Connolly & Pat Clarke Sun: John Kililea & Seán Kitt GOING TO SUNDAY MASS: Comment by Fr Aiden Ryan It is obvious that there has been a great decline regular Mass attendance over recent times in Ireland. This is well known and documented. It seems that Mass-goers are now a minority of the Catholic population. Some of the motives from the past have faded such as a sense of obligation, a fear of mortal sin and hell if one missed Mass. There was also a strong social and family pressure to attend. Often too our personal choice was not strong but the culture all around us brought us to Mass. Then too other forces began to compete for peoples time : more social activities for young people, more sporting activities on Saturday evening and Sunday morning ; the lure of TV etc -these are not wrong , they just present a greater challenge to our practice. Also today children can only be at Mass if their parents bring them. At first, people missed Mass only occasionally but the occasions grew more frequent until the habit of going to Mass was broken. And for some it is soon reduced to turning up for Funerals, Baptism, 1st Communion ,Weddings & Christmas Then for some the scandals of clergy as the last straw or a good excuse to increase the drop-off that was already growing. The Sabbath was first set aside for two reasons- to give people freedom from work and time to thank God our Creator. Many now take the leisure only forgetting the second part–to take time to thank God at the Sunday Mass.

MEETING OF CALTRA CHURCH GROUPS Last year Fr Vincent had a very important series of meetings with the various Church Groups which don’t normally meet as a group and he wishes to do the same this year., The purpose is to give an opportunity to members to give suggestions and to listen to others ;to improve our working together and in this way to build a strong Church Community.. We will also have a short prayer. If unable to be present in Parish House please drop in soon to have a chat with him  READERS- Wed 13th August 8pm Parish House  FINANCE & COLLECTORS Thurs 21st Aug 8pm Parish House  EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS Wed 27th Aug 8pm Parish House

WORDS FROM OUR NEW BISHOP My dear people, I want to thank you all for the very warm welcome that you have given me since my appointment as bishop. Since my arrival I have become aware of the generous service given by many of our priests who continue in active ministry even after the normal retirement age of seventy five. We do have ten priests who are either in wellearned retirement or are no longer able to work due to illness; together they have given almost 500 years of service to our parishes. We need to ensure that they have accommodation, income to cover their essential living costs and healthcare. The priests of the diocese already contribute, out of their own income, most of what is required to support the sick and retired priests but recently the funds are low. Our annual collection for the Sick Priests Fund takes place next weekend 2nd/3rd August and I would ask you to be as generous as your circumstances allow. A donation of €10 would seem appropriate, given that there are 10 men to be supported, but whatever you can afford will be greatly appreciated. I take this opportunity to thank you for the generous support and encouragement that you give the priests in their ministry. + Kevin Doran PRAYER FOR PEACE IN MIDDLE EAST Pope Francis requests prayers for peace in Israel, Palestine, Syria. The Irish Bishops have sent a help to us - 3 examples of prayers for Peace– These Peace Prayers on Gifts Table in our church.
