50 in number is now just under 25.

If you can sing; if you enjoy singing; if you can give a

couple of hours a week between choir rehearsal and

Sunday liturgy – then you would be welcomed with

open arms on

Jewish/Christian Celebration Thurs 18th. Feb.

Johnstown Parish Centre, Killiney

There is a wonderful opportunity to be enriched by

looking at the Jewish roots of our faith

The guest speaker is Benjamin Berger, a Messianic Jewish

leader from Israel. As an adult, questioning the meaning

of life and of being a Jew, Benjamin left Orthodox

Judaism. It was only when he came to know the God of

his fathers, and to recognize Yeshua (Jesus) as the

Messiah of Israel and Saviour of the world that his

questions were resolved.

Benjamin has a passion for unity in the Body of Christ

and has been involved in the Roman Catholic/Messianic

Jewish international dialogue for the past 9 years.

There is no cost. There will be an offering. All welcome.

New Parish office hours

The Parish office will be open Monday, Wednesday,

Friday

10.30 am to 1.00 pm

Why the need for change.? Below is a list of general

responsibilities for a parish secretary:

Receiving members of the parish and public and

dealing with enquiries

Providing an administrative service to the parish

Managing the parish office with the effective use

of up-to-date office systems.

Maintaining & up-dating computerised parish

accounts

Recording and managing parish records.

And more….

The first responsibility is the most common for the

general parishioner. Our parish secretaries provide a

wonderful service to the parish, but they also need time

to attend to other responsibilities.

So on Tuesday and Thursday the parish

office will be closed to general enquires.

The Life in the Spirit seminars is a widely used course that has helped millions of Catholics worldwide, to discover the power of the Holy Spirit, and to find fuller expression and

commitment in their spiritual lives. The seminars present the central truths of the gospel, God’s

Love, the Salvation he offers in Jesus Christ, and his invitation to receive new life. They explain how we can live our lives in the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit and they

offer guidance on how we can continue to grow in the Christian Life.

‘A boat is safe in the harbour;

but this is not the purpose of a boat’. Paulo Coelho

Jesus is preaching at Lake Gennesaret (the Sea of Galilee) in

today’s Gospel. This is Luke’s account of the calling of the First

Disciples which takes place in the context of a miraculous catch

of fish. Jesus is using Simon’s boat as a sort of platform from

which to address the crowds who had gathered around him.

Already Jesus is gaining popularity and the crowds are

‘pressing’ near to him. Clearly they see something in Jesus that

is attractive and fulfilling.

Simon is most likely being polite when he agrees to try again

for a catch, possibly thinking that Jesus should leave the fishing

to the professionals. Simon obeys, takes the risk, lets go of his

pride, and the result is an overwhelming catch of fish. It can be

hard to trust others at times; it can be difficult to let go of what

is familiar to us. We are constantly being challenged to do this.

The big challenge is to trust that God knows what God is doing

and is constantly urging us to pull away from the shore.
