FAITH DEVELOPMENT
Come join us as we reflect with Fr.John Finn M.S.C on Faith Development this Monday June 6^th and 7^th in the Community Centre Cloonfad at 8pm. The invitation of the gospel is to respond to the call of Christ “Come follow me”.  This invitation involves moving from the imitative faith of a child to the mature faith of one who can relate to a loving God and open up to the diversity of the world.  One of the central characteristics of an adult faith is to look to the future with hope.  Dangers involve getting stuck or becoming rigid at any stage of development.  The call of the Gospel is the call of freedom to respond to the call of Christ’s presence in all of creation.  Everyone is invited to attend.  All Eucharistic ministers, readers, adoration committee are asked to attend.
GOOD LUCK
The community would like to wish the ‘best of luck’ to the pupils from the area that sit their Junior and Leaving Cert exams over the next few weeks.  May the Good Lord and our Blessed Lady help you all at this time in your young lives.
