Dromahair ~ Killargue ~ Newtownmanor Sunday 21st August 2011 ~ The 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time Sincere thanks to all who contributed to the Special Collection for the Victims of Famine in East Africa, If you still wish to make a contribution, next Sunday is the deadline. Some plain envelopes are available at the back of your church. New Translation of the Roman Missal. The new translation of the Missal will come into full use at Mass between 1 th September and the First Sunday of Advent this year. Since 1975, when the present missal was published, several new texts have been made available:- Eucharistic prayers, New Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary & Masses for over 20 new Feasts of the Saints ~ including St. Pius of Pietrelcina ~ Padre Pio, Edith Stein & Maximillian Kolbe. New translations have been added which follow more closely the original Latin ~ pleasing some, annoying many others. The new translation also attempts to follow more closely biblical language and images. Across the English speaking world, the new edition of the Roman Missal will contain both new material and a new style of translation. GENERAL / CHURCH NOTICES. [A] Thanks to all who contributed in June to the Collection in support of the Eucharistic Congress which takes place in 2012. Amounts forwarded are as follows: Dromahair^ €514 [€570.75]; Killamue ~ €328 [€232.50]; Newtownmanor ~ €335 [€243]. Total ~ €1,177 [€1,046.25]. Amounts for last year are in brackets. [B] Special Collection for the Holy Land ~ On Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th September. Christians in the Holy Land are facing a time of crisis with numbers falling from 40% of the population just 40 years ago to as little as 1.4% today. Soon there will not be sufficient Christians to look after the Holy Places! The continuing conflict has badly affected local Christians who are ethnically Arab and so treated as hostile and the economy has been devastated: religious tours to their area are difficult & Bethlehem has relatively few visitors today. The separation wall has even made matters even worse. The Diocese ofKHmore is holding a special collection for the Holv Land on the weekend of Saturday 3* &Sunday fh September. It will be taken up after Communion at Masses in all 3 Churches in this parish on that weekend. Your contribution will help out in various ways, including the upkeep of churches & parish centres in Nazareth, Bethlehem, & Jerusalem, schools in Bethlehem & homes for the elderly in Nazareth!
