2018 Booklist Information
P & F Subway Lunch Monday 30 October 2017
Invitation: Fr Vincent Glynn to St Emilie’s Parish on Tuesday 24th October 7pm
Dear Parents,
The Parish have invited Father Vincent Glynn to speak to the community on Tuesday, October 24 at 7.00pm.
All interested families are very welcome to attend.
Fr Vincent will be sharing his considerable insights on harnessing the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and using our God-given gifts and talents for the good of all and as you will read in his biography , he has a wealth of experience to share.
The gift of the Holy Spirit, promised by Jesus to the apostles is described in the Scripture account of Pentecost. Today we share in this same gift of the Holy Spirit through and in our Baptism & Confirmation. Traditionally the Holy Spirit is expressed through the 7 gifts of the Spirit first received in the sacrament of Baptism and strengthened in the sacrament of Confirmation. The gift of the Holy Spirit is a gift given freely and is to be expressed in our everyday life. How do we express and use these gifts in our daily life?
If you have any further enquiries please direct them to Cheryl : cherylmeta@gmail.com
