Parish Day Music
If you enjoy singing or play a musical instrument the parish music groups would love you to join them for an informal session or "jam" in the church during the Parish Day picnic 17th Sept after 11am Mass. We will be playing some of our favourite hymns – why not shake the dust off your violin or bongos and come and join us for some fun making music together? Many thanks. Carolyn.
The Six Holy Habits (1) Sunday Mass
I remember once after Mass, when during the homily I had mentioned the obligation on Catholics to attend Mass on Sundays and Holydays, being asked by a parishioner: Where does this obligation come from? Ultimately, of course, the obligation comes from God. On Mount Sinai He gave us the Ten Commandments, the fourth of which is to keep holy the Sabbath.
From the very early Church, Sunday, the Lord’s Day (Rev. 1: 10) replaced the Jewish Sabbath as the day of worship. It was the day the Lord rose from the dead.
