AN CEATHRÚ DOMHNACH DÉAG A AN CHÉAD LÉACHT Sliocht as leabhar Zachária fáidh. 9:9-10. Seo mar a deir an Tiarna: “A iníon Sión, déana luichir agus gáire i do chroí; tóg gártha, a iníon laraúsaílin. Féach, tá do rí ag teacht chugta go mótasach slán, agus é go ceansa, ag maraíocht ar asal, agus ar shearach asail. Scuabfaidh sé ar cabrad chun súil as Efram agus an capall as laraúsaílin; brisfear an bogha cogaidh. Labhróidh sé leis na náisiún faoin t́síochain agus beidh sé réim o mhuir go muir agus on abhain go críoch na cruinne” Bríathar an Tiarna. FR. Buíochas do Dhia. FREAGRA AN TÁILIM Beannóidh mé d'ainm de shíor, mo Dhia agus mo Rí. AN DARA LÉACHT Sliocht as litr Naomh Pól chuig an Rómhánach. 8:9, 11-13. A bhríathair, ní bheidh ról na colainne atá sibhse ach réir an Spiorad, más for gcofanoim Spiorad Dé ionabh. Go deimhinn, má bhíonn Spiorad an té a thóg lósa ó mháirbh ina chónai ionabh, deanaífidh an té sin a thóg Críost ó mháirbh bíonn gcorb básmhar a bheochan trína Spiorad atá chónai ionabh. Ar an ábhár sin, a bhríathar, níl aon cheangal ag an gcolainn orainn. Más de réir na colainne a mhaireann sibh, tá an bás in nDán daoibh; ach má chuireann sibh gnómhartha na colainne faoin smacht le cánamh an Spioraid, mairfidh sibh beo. Bríathar an Tiarna. FR. Buíochas do Dhia. ALLELUIA, alleluia! Bíodh teachtaireacht Chríost i gconai faoi rath ioinabh. Gabhaigí buíochas trí Chríost le Dia ár nAthar. Alleluia! SOISCEÁL Sliocht as an Soiséal naofa de réir Naomh Maitiú. 11:25-30. San am sin labhair Íosa agus dúirt: “Beirim buíochas duit, a Thiarna neimhe agus talún, de bhrí gur cheilt tú na nithe seo ar luíth eagna agus éirim agus mar d’fhoilsigh tú dó náisiúin iad. Is ea, a Athair,óir is amhlaidh sin ba mhaith leat. Tá gach aon rit tugtha domsa ag m’Athair; agus níl aithne ag oibreach ar an Mac ach amháin ag an Athair, ní níl PARISH OF INVER Saturday 27th – Sunday 28th June 2026 – 13th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ~ Year A Fr Liam Boyle, PP, Parochial House, Frosses Tel: 074 9736006 – In case of emergency only ring 089 9712498 Email: inverparish@gmail.com Website: www.inverparish.com Mass Times Day Time Saturday 27th June Ardaghey 6:00pm Dromineer 7:30pm Sunday 28th June Frosses 10:00am Mountcharles 11:30am Monday 29th June No Mass Tuesday 30th June Frosses 10:00am 1:00pm Wedding Wednesday 1st July No Mass Thursday 2nd July Dromineer 10:00am Friday 3rd July 3:00pm Adoration, Benediction and Confession Frosses 7:00pm Saturday 4th July Ardaghey 6:00pm Dromineer 7:30pm Sunday 5th July Frosses 10:00am Mountcharles 11:30am Anniversaries/Intentions - Saturday 27th June: Tommie Burke Cahal and Marie Cassidy - Sunday 28th June: John Meehan, Coolum Brian Monaghan, Jr. Esther Dunlevy Willie Kane, Dromineer and Kliburn Notices Why Sunday Matters Our invitation to reflect on Sundays has emerged from the ideas of Synodality - Communion, Participation, and Mission - reminding us that it is not a personal moment which Christ is about to enable but an experience where all of us are the People of God. Sundays are an essential part of worship. We go to God together. The Sunday Mass where the Church is most visibly alive, and where every member of the community plays an essential role, is clear - this participation is needed for the Church to truly live. We are deeply thankful to priests, ministers and all those who celebrate Mass. Special gratitude goes to those involved in liturgical ministries, such as Altar Servers, Ministers of the Word, Sacristans, and/or Readers. Encouraging the number of young people as Altar Servers is especially important and should be actively supported by their families and parishes.

Day for Life Today, Sunday 21st June the Church across Ireland celebrates Day for Life in the theme of The Humanity of the Unborn Child which invites us to reflect on the wonder of how life from the moment of conception.

John the Baptist leapt in his mother Elizabeth’s womb when Mary greeted her. Our Lady treasured Our Lord in her heart and womb until His birth. To read full bishops’ message visit councilforlife.ie Thought for the Day “O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, you who accompany us on our earthly pilgrimage, as you brought to life the joy of humanity.

Colm O'Gallchoir Tel: 074 9731013 Masses and Services: Live streaming www.mcn.live (link on website) A Word of Gratitude from Fr Colm I had a memorable weekend celebrating the Golden Jubilee of my Ordination. With the Church of my Ordination, Teach Pobail Mhuire, Derrybeg, being destroyed by fire a year last Saturday, I celebrated Mass at home with family and neighbours last Saturday, followed by a delightful meal. On Sunday I celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Mary of the Visitation Church here in Killybegs at 1pm, followed by refreshments in Foresters Hall. Both celebrations touched me deeply as did the presence of so many. My sincere gratitude to everyone concerned. There was a great atmosphere in the Chapel on Sunday and indeed I found it very emotional. Some family members were present, with my brother Fr. Séán concelebrating, along with Fr. Charlie, Fr. Brian, Ministers of the Word and Eucharist, Gift Bearers, Collectors and Altar Servers played their part, along with our exceptional Parish Choir, who presented me with a lovely gift, accompanied by song. Plunkett Smith was there to keep a visual record, along with Thomas Gallagher of the Donegal Democrat. Our beautiful Church is so conducive to liturgical celebrations and the presence of a vibrant and appreciative faith-community made it such a memorable celebration for me, receiving such warm and heartfelt congratulations and good wishes, along with a multitude of cards and gifts for which I am deeply grateful. Thank you sincerely for your kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity. I did not expect Foresters Hall to be full to capacity and the refreshments served by Stephanie Hegarty and her family was a wonderful surprise to me. Fr. Eamonn Kelly and his team from Rosebeg, for spearheading the operation with such dedication and thoroughness and those who helped, giving so generously of their time and energy. Thanks also to the Foresters Hall Committee. Celebrating with my own family on Saturday and celebrating with the parish community and friends here in Killybegs on Sunday meant so much to me and marked the Golden Jubilee of my Ordination in the most memorable way possible.

Litany of Remembrance In the rising of the sun and in it’s going down ~ We remember them In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter ~ We remember them In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of the summer ~ We remember them In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of Autumn ~ We remember them In the beginning of the year and when it ends ~ We remember them When we are lost and sick at heart ~ We remember them When we have joys, we yearn to share ~ We remember them So long as we live, they too shall live ~ We will remember them WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 28th June 2026 – Thirteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time Fr Philip Kemmy, PP Office Address: Parochial House, Main Street, Newtowncunningham 074 9156138 STEP BY STEP THROUGH THE MASS The Liturgy of the Word (Part 12) – The Prayers of the Faithful Once we have made our Profession of faith with the recitation of the Creed, we move on to the final part of the Liturgy of the Word at Mass; namely: The Prayers of the Faithful – sometimes called the Bidding Prayers. These prayers are not inconsequential pious throw-aways – they are an expression of our union with Christ, praying as the Body of Christ in response to the Word of God – praying through him, with him and in him – which is why the prayers are ordinarily made (though not bindingly prescribed) as an addressed to God the Father. The Church asks that this prayer be relatively short, as opposed to long winded paragraphs, and that they should ordinarily be prayers that gather the whole Church and World into the intentions of this congregation gathered for this Mass on this Sunday. These prayers, therefore, are not ordinarily a moment to be specific about a given private or very local issue. For example, while we might pray for good weather for the farming community to do its important business, we wouldn't be so specific as to pray that Farmer John gets his farming work done. Of course, anyone who knows our local Farmer John can include him in their participation in the prayer – the prayer spoken from the Ambo is usually more wide ranging rather than specific. Exceptions are permitted by the Church when the congregation is gathered for a specific ceremony or celebration: Funerals, Confirmations, Weddings etc. For the Prayers of the Faithful the Church has guidelines to follow. The order of the prayers is usually: for the needs of the Church, for public authorities and the Salvation of the whole world; for grave difficulties that afflict people and even nations; then finally for the local community. At the end of each prayer the acclamation is spoken: “Lord hear us!” The congregation replies: “Lord, graciously hear us!” We call out to God, confident that he will hear us. We are encouraged by the Word of God which we have recounted to us something of God’s past interventions with the human race; especially in sending His Only Begotten Son, Jesus. In effect, in faith we are presenting him the difficulties that afflict our present world asking him to intervene with his grace, power, mercy and love we know he has done in the past, especially as we have heard from the Sacred Scriptures. So, the Bidding Prayers are no mere formality. They are meant to be heartfelt pleas to God the Father, made IN the Holy Spirit, BY us, THROUGH Christ Jesus. In faith we call out: “Lord graciously hear us!” Parish of Newtowncunningham & Killea Email: office@newtownkilleaparish.ie Website: www.newtownkilleaparish.ie Sunday Collections: Amount €1485 Retired Clergy €390 Thank you for your continued generosity to your Parish.

However, over the years, times and days have been changed to accommodate people and situations. We are presently undertaking a review of the Adoration times and days in all three parish churches. You might let Fr Kelly or any members of the Parish of Raphoe Committee know your ideas. When we have listened to your ideas we will be in a much better position to make the right decisions regarding Adoration in the parish of Raphoe. Every hour in itself is a commitment and so all the adorers have to make good commitment. It seems nowadays people do not like making such commitments. So please pray about this and let Fr Kelly or anyone on the Parish of Raphoe Committee know your thoughts on Adoration in our parish.
