1. World Day of Families: New podcast from WMOF2018
Let’s Talk Family is a new weekly podcast
from WMOF2018. This new podcast is coming to you weekly between now and next
August and we hope to bring you all the news about how preparations are going
for the 9th World Meeting of Families. But, we also hope to take
time out on this podcast to talk about family. In this week’s episode Brenda Drumm is speaking to Ephrem Feeley - the composer of 'A Joy For All The
Earth' - the official hymn for the 9th World Meeting of Families.

4. Every priest
carries a little card like a debit card with the information contained on
on it that he is
in good standing in the diocese. This card is referred to as a
celebret.
So if a priest decides to carry out and
assist at sacraments he has to
show this celebret to the resident priest. This regulation has been
in place for many
years and is part
of the diocese's wish to protect the vulnerable.
5. We welcome our
First Communion class as they take their first steps on the
journey to receive
for the first time.

Hymns.
Going home, going home, Mother’s there
expecting me.
I’m going home.
Father’s waiting too.
Quiet-like, some still day, Lots of folk gathered there.
I’m just going home. All the friends I knew.
It’s not far just close by All the friends I
knew.
through an open door.
Work all done, care
laid by,
going to fear no more.
In Bread we bring
you, Lord.
In bread we bring you
Lord, our bodies labour.
In wine, we offer you
our spirits grief. We do
not ask you, Lord who is my neighbour? But stand
united now, in one belief. Oh we have gladly heard
your word, your holy word, and now in answer Lord
our gifts we bring. Our selfish hearts make true,
our failing faith renew, our lives belong to you, our Lord and King.
There is a Place.
There's a time for remembering, a time to recall.
The trials and the triumphs, the fears and
the falls.
There's a time to be grateful for moments so blest,
The jewels of our memory where love is our
guest.
