You may have already seen Father Kenny’s appeal to help decorate the church for the important Feast Day of Pentecost celebrated this Sunday. This is a really important feast day. We remember Pentecost in our Glorious Mysteries when we celebrate the Holy Spirit coming down to the Apostles. Tune in to Mass at St Joseph’s this Sunday to see your art work.

Father Kenny has asked for everyone to decorate a heart and hand it in to the church before Sunday so he can display it on the altar. He has put a template up on the parish Facebook page if you need it. However you can draw your own and put in the names of the people you love. Make it colourful. I’d really like the First Communion Class represented on the altar.

This is the last week in May so let’s try and make a special effort to say the Rosary this week. It only takes 5 minutes out of your day so we can all find a little time to ask Our Lady for her help. This week I will post links to the Glorious Mysteries.

Tomorrow and Monday are holidays. I will post answers to this week’s work for you to check over on Friday. I’ll post next week’s tasks on Tuesday.

Enjoy the sunshine and have a good weekend.

Today is a great feast day. We would normally go to Mass.

You can join Fr Kenny and Fr Rooney for Mass at 11am or on catch up here:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI_XBWRznEyoko7s5gLNLhA?fbclid=IwAR0UGlgfi39Ep4aSkEMaGIWBfz2XUH5-lYLaCL08E-yReNEMceQNpya2Ke0

Here is a little known fact. In the past to make an international call, which means to phone someone in another country, you had to go through an operator. Ascension Thursday was the busiest day in the UK for international calls. Everyone from South America, Spain, Italy, Portugal etc wanted to phone their families to mark this important joyful glorious day!

If you can’t manage please take some time to watch this video. It takes less than 10 minutes

It is a beautiful day, why not say your rosary outside amongst the flowers.

The focus of mental health week 2020 is kindness. A few weeks a go I published a post linked to the efforts of Captain Tom to raise money for the NHS. I challenged you to try to do 100 acts of kindness. How have you being getting on. If you haven’t started yet or started then forgot..today is a new start. Be kind.

In class we focus on how we achieve our goals. I have attached a short powerpoint you may wish to do with your family. It is suitable for adults to do as well as children. We all have things we want to do or achieve but how do we get there? This reflection and discussion might be helpful. Have a look. It doesn’t take long.
