Graveyard Mass: Unfortunately, due to the present circumstances no graveyard Masses will take place this year. We encourage you to visit & tend to your family graves and the graves of people who may not live locally. In November, we hope to have our Mass of Remembrance for each person whose funeral Mass was celebrated in our Parish since last November. During this Mass, candles will be lit in their memory.
The Traditional Latin Mass will be offered at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Rathass, Tralee on Sun. 27th June at 12.30pm. More info from latinmasstralee@gmail.com

“No! Jesus who calmed the storm will save me!”
The Mississippi River was flooding its banks, and the waters were rising swiftly around Dorothy’s house. The waters had gotten to the level of the front porch where Dorothy was standing when a man in a rowboat came by and called to Dorothy, “Hop in and I’ll take you to high ground.” Dorothy replied, “No, Jesus who calmed the storm in the sea will save me from flood waters!”
The river continued to rise to the second story windows and Dorothy, looking out, saw a powerboat come up. The man in the powerboat called to Dorothy, “Hop in and I’ll take you to high ground.” Dorothy replied, “No, my Jesus will save me!” The river had now risen to the roof of the house. Dorothy was sitting on the ridge at the top of the house with the waters swirling around her feet. She saw a helicopter fly over, and the people inside yelled over a bull horn, “Grab the rope and climb in, and we’ll take you to high ground.” Dorothy replied, “No, Jesus will save me!” The river continued to rise.
Finally, the floodwaters engulfed the house and Dorothy was drowned. The next thing Dorothy knew, she was standing before Jesus. In anger, she asked Jesus, “I put my trust in You. Why have you forsaken me?” And to her Jesus replied, “What do you want from Me? I sent you a rowboat, a powerboat, and a helicopter!” — Today’s Gospel tells us that we have to act promptly, trusting in the power of Jesus and seeking his help as the apostles did.
We need to remember that Jesus is always with us in the boat of our life. We all experience different types of violent storms in our lives: physical storms, emotional storms & spiritual storms. Only Jesus can see these storms.

| Happy Father’s Day!! What a card! Father’s Day was near when I brought my three-year-old son, Tyler, to the card store. Inside, I showed him the cards for dads and told him to pick one. When I looked back, Tyler was picking up one card after another, opening them up and quickly shoving them back into slots, every which way. “Tyler, what are you doing?” I asked. “Haven’t you found a nice card for Daddy yet?” “No,” he replied. “I’m looking for one with money in it.” |
