Jesus sends his apostles out to continue to preach the good news to all the world. This recalls for us the ‘sending out’ that occurs at the end of our Mass: “Go in peace to love and serve the Lord’. We, too, are sent to bring the truth of the Gospel into our daily actions and decisions and thus give witness to the faith we profess. ECONFERENCE—Parish Centre June 11th“Pope Francis: Modelling the Ministry of St Peter” on June 11 in the parish centre starting at 10:00 am. If you would like to attend please contact the parish office to book your place. ASCENSION of the lord 01 June 2014 The Ascension of Our Lord, which occurred 40 days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead on Easter, is the final act of our redemption that Christ began on Good Friday. On this day, the risen Christ, in the sight of His apostles, ascended bodily into Heaven. We are looking forward to St Kieran’s church reopening on Saturday 7th June when all mass times will resume to normal as prior to the renovations. Therefore the last week for masses held at St Cecilia’s instead of St Kieran’s will be this weekend and the coming week up until Saturday, when 8.30am mass will be celebrated at St Kieran’s. We thank for your understanding during these past few weeks. We also look forward next weekend to celebrating the Sacrament of First Holy Communion with the first of our candidates for 2014. See the calendar on the back page of the bulletin for the scheduled mass times. “In Holy Communion, they will share the banquet of Christ’s sacrifice, calling God ‘Father’ in the midst of the Church”.

ASCENSION of the lord 01 June 2014
The Ascension of Our Lord, which occurred 40 days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead on Easter, is the final act of our redemption that Christ began on Good Friday. On this day, the risen Christ, in the sight of His apostles, ascended bodily into Heaven.
We are looking forward to St Kieran’s church reopening on Saturday 7th June when all mass times will resume to normal as prior to the renovations. Therefore the last week for masses held at St Cecilia’s instead of St Kieran’s will be this weekend and the coming week up until Saturday, when 8.30am mass will be celebrated at St Kieran’s.

At work or study: Jesus invites me to meet him: do I take up the offer?
In my family life : Do we invite Jesus into our family or are we too busy to make a date? Discipleship this week!

This weekend marks the third and final appeal for the financial year to the Charitable Works Fund
(CWF). Envelopes for donations are attached to this week’s bulletin and are also available in the
foyer of the Church. They can be left on the collection plate or at the office.
As the figures below show we are well short of our quota and have a long way to go before we
even match the amounts donated in previous years. In the event there is a shortfall between our
quota and the amount donated by parishioners, as has been the case in the last few years, the
shortfall has to be made up from general parish funds (the second collection) so your generosity
would be appreciated.
Donations to the CWF are 100% tax deductable. . If you have not yet made a contribution or might be considering a
further contribution any donation received prior to June 28 will be deductable this financial year.
