“DIRTY OLD TOWNS?” comes to our parish.

Diarmuid Gavin of the RTE show “DIRTY OLD TOWNS?” is on a journey – to clean up the towns of Ireland -not alone with money, not just with officialdom, but with the power of people and the language of ideas.

Diarmuid will kick off the Dirty Old Towns campaign for our parish this Sunday 13th November at the end of the 12.00 noon Mass. Why not come along and listen to what he has to say.

OUR LADY OF LOURDES PARISH NOTES 13th NOVEMBER 2011

33^rdSUNDAY OF THE YEAR

THANK GOD FOR PETS

God loves animals; how you treat them reveals a lot about your character. The Living Bible says, “A good man is concerned for the welfare of his animals,” (Prov. 12:10). Doctors have discovered that people with pets live longer, stay healthier, recover faster and experience less depression.

A man wrote to a hotel in Florida where he wanted to go for a holiday and raised the question, “My dog is very well behaved, could I bring my dog with me?”

The hotel owner wrote back,

“I have been operating this hotel for years and in all that time I’ve never had a dog steal towels bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls. I have never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly; I’ve never had a dog run out without paying the bill. Yes indeed your dog is welcome here and if your dog will vouch for you, you’re welcome to stay here too.”

When God made animals he said, “It was good” (Gn.1: 21), because they offer us friendship, beauty, strength, courage and many of the virtues of humankind without some of their vices.

So enjoy them, thank God for them and take good care of them.
