Annascaul

Message from Fr Michael Moynihan
In the Gospel this past weekend we hear Jesus telling a parable about the Landowner renting his vineyard. We do not often hear of tenants renting vineyards in this part of the world. What we are familiar with is tenants renting property.  Some tenants are dream tenants and some others are hard work.  Scarcely a week goes by that we do not read about a landlord who does not treat the tenants well or about tenants who wreck the property.  In the parable, the tenants were ungrateful.  The Landlord (God) had sent many messengers, including His Son, but the tenants treated them badly and put some to death. They even killed the Landlords Son.  They figured that they could be their own Masters. The parable ends with the wretched tenants coming to a wretched end.  As Christians we recognise that all we are and all we have are a gift from God.  God gave us the gift of life itself.  It is important that we have a spirit of gratitude to God for such great gifts.  The great prayer of gratitude or thanksgiving is the Eucharist. Each time we pray and in particular each time we attend Mass we give thanks to God.

Our prayers are asked for those attending the Synod of Bishops that began in Rome in recent days.  We pray that the Holy Spirit will guide all the discussions.  Later in the year there will be a listening evening in each parish. It is an opportunity for all to have their say in what the future of the Church might look like.  Further details will be in the weekly newsletter.

A Prayer for the Synod in Rome
Holy Spirit, breath of Pentecost, you send us to proclaim Christ and to welcome into our communities those who do not yet know him. Come down, we pray, upon the participants of the Synod and upon all who are present in this church, filling them with your wisdom and courage in order to be servants of communion and bold witnesses of your forgiveness in today’s world! We make this prayer through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Yours in Christ
Fr Michael

*Message from Bishop Ray, 10 August 2020 :  Pastoral Care of Annascaul Parish  

In the recent Diocesan changes, I have appointed Fr Michael Moynihan, Parish Priest of Dingle, as Moderator (Administrator) of Annascaul parish. He will work with the other Priests in the Corcha Dhuibhne Pastoral Area, including Fr Eamonn Mulvihill PP Castlegregory and Fr Eugene Kiely PP Ballyferriter. Together, they will minister to the Pastoral and Sacramental needs of the people of Annascaul Parish. While every effort will be made to maintain the existing service, nevertheless it is important to realise that with fewer priests and more demands on them, it is inevitable that there will be changes affecting all parishes. During the months ahead there will be consultation and planning regarding the future Pastoral Care of Annascaul Parish within the Pastoral Area.

Fr John O’Donoghue (Missionaries of Africa) and Fr Donal O’Connor (Chaplain in ITTralee) will be ministering in Annascaul Parish until Christmas 2020.

I wish to thank Fr John, Fr Donal and the Priests of the Pastoral Area for their commitment to the people of Annascaul Parish and the wider Corcha Dhuibhne Pastoral area.

Yours in Christ,      + Ray Browne.  10 August 2020.

* Pioneer Total Abstinence Association:   Pioneers: In 1898, Father Cullen founded the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association of The Sacred Heart.  Pioneers are ordinary people who :

(1) Abstain from Alcohol - to make reparation to Christ for the sins of intemperance; - to express their concern for the conversion of excessive drinkers; - to make themselves free and independent of alcohol in order to be of service to others; - to show be example that temperance, indeed total abstinence, is possible even for an Irishman! 

(2) Recite twice daily the brief Pioneer Offering: For thy greater glory and consolation O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for Thy sake to give good example to practice self-denial to make reparation to Thee for the sins of intemperance and for the conversion of excessive drinkers, I will abstain for life from all intoxicating drinks.    (3) Wear the Emblem of Christ's Heart, the symbol of the unfailing love and mercy of Christ for us.
