TODAY IS SEA SUNDAY, when the Church remembers all those who live and work at sea. Seafarers are commonly recruited from poorer countries where wages are lower. They work in difficult and often dangerous conditions suffering from loneliness, spiritual deprivation and even exploitation as they transport the goods we use and consume every day. The Apostleship of the Sea reaches out to seafarers that visit our ports each year, offering pastoral and practical support and care - the retiring collection today is to help with this work. WORLD YOUTH DAY: Olga and Megan, our two parish representatives, are now in the air on their way to Sydney along with thousands of other young people from around the world. Our Bishop is already there along with many other Bishops and the Pope will be joining them later in the week. We wish them every blessing. INTERNATIONAL MASS: Thanks to all the people who represented their countries (22) last week - Australia, Belize, China, Columbia, England, Germany, Guyana, India, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Malta, New Zealand, Nigeria, Philippines, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sweden, USA, Wales and to all who came to the preparatory meetings. Thanks also to those who organised and provided the refreshments - a wonderful community celebration.
