“…the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit…” Rom 5:5 The love of God we hear about in today’s reading brings a peace which is not attainable through any other means. Through God we find rest, healing and joy – even amidst crisis. The more open our hearts are the more God can fill them with love. We are called to make love the center of our family life.

Convocation of Priests

The priests in the diocese are being called together by Bishop Kevin Farrell to attend the 2013 Convocation for Priests June 3‐6. During the Convocation priests will not be available to tend to normal parish activities (e.g. daily Mass on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday).

The purpose of the Convocation is to afford our priests an opportunity to meet together with the Bishop, to pray together and to reflect upon their priestly ministry and to discuss together issues facing them in the exercise of their priestly ministry.

Please pray for our priests that they will return from convocation refreshed and renewed by this opportunity for continued growth and priestly fraternity.
