Will I miss it?
As I write this, I am in the middle of moving house. As anyone who has ever moved house will know, it can be an exhausting and stressful time. There are boxes to be filled and labelled, furniture to be lifted and transported, and rooms to be cleaned. There are things to throw in the bin or skip, and trips to the recycling centre and charity shop. And there are a bucket load of emotions that go with the whole process, particularly when it comes to those decisions over what is worth holding onto, and what can be let go. Many an item I’ve regarded in recent weeks, agonising over whether it needs to make the journey with me. My motto has become “Will I miss if it if I get rid of it?” A friend of mine swears by the “KonMari” method of decluttering, which advises asking yourself whether or not an item “brings you joy”.
Such are the practical considerations we deal with in life, particularly at pivotal times such as moving home, moving in with a partner, when a child flies the nest, or after a loved one passes away. While we may not be people “of great wealth” like the man in today’s gospel, most of us accumulate a great deal of possessions over a lifetime. Some of it is necessary, but much of it is superfluous. If it came down to it, how much could we let go of? What good will our earthly treasures do us, in the long run? Tríona Doherty – Intercom Newsletter Resources

Mission Sunday
On Sunday October 21st, we will celebrate Mission Sunday. This will help you understand this Sunday better, and to pray for missionaries throughout the World.
October is Mission Month!
A time of celebration when churches worldwide come together to support the life-changing work of our fearless missionary brothers and sisters overseas. This year World Mission Sunday will be celebrated on the 21st October. It is the one day in the year that Pope Francis asks for your extra generosity. On this day, collections will be taken up throughout the world and used to help support missionaries who bring faith, hope and love to those who are suffering. On this day, your generosity will ultimately help build churches, hospitals, schools and vocations in countries where the Church is too young or poor to support itself. Envelopes will be available in the church on the day or if you use the weekly envelopes you will find one in your box.
POPE JOHN PAUL II AWARD
In the coming weeks, we will have a new team of students from our secondary schools taking part in the Pope John Paul II Award. This award allows these young people to take an active part in their church and community in so many and various ways. As part of the Pope John Paul II award and business social project, many of the students from the High School are beginning work on setting up a live stream service of our Masses and services. This project will allow people at home and in nursing homes to watch Mass on their computer, tablet, laptop and television.
Coeliac Condition Low-gluten hosts are available from the main celebrant. The hosts will be in a separate part of the ciborium.
