We again appeal to anyone who got those forms or anyone who believes they are in that category to please return the CHY2 forms as soon as possible so that the relevant tax for 2008 can be reclaimed. We thank you for your co-operation in this scheme.

DAY FOR LIFE
Life matters. It is a precious gift to be cherished. Our fulfilment and destiny come from a living relationship with Jesus Christ through faith, nourished by the sacraments and the support of the Church Community. ‘I have come to give you life to the full’ (John 10:10). He invites us to ask him for this Life. The message of the Gospel is that, whatever has happened to us, and whatever we have done, we can never be separated from the love of God in Jesus Christ. Pain, even tragedy—are never God’s last word.

SAFEGUARGUARDING CHILDREN STATEMENT
The Parish of Tullow values and encourages the participation of children and young people in parish liturgies and activities that enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional, social and intellectual development, and will work in a partnership way with parents at all times.
The Gospel of Christ invites us to cherish and affirm each child as a gift from God with an inherent right to dignity of life and bodily integrity which shall be respected, nurtured and protected by all. Everyone in the Church has an obligation to ensure that the fundamental rights of children are respected.
In keep with this we in this parish undertake to do all in our power to create safe environments where the welfare of children and young people is paramount. This duty of care extends to all the many and varied ways that children share in the life of the Church in our parish and diocese.

“He then took a little child and sat him in front of them”
The disciples had been arguing about which of them was the greatest. Did they think that the better they were, the more the Lord would respect them? Did they think they had to earn Jesus’ love?
By holding the child before them, Jesus is saying: “This child knows he is beautiful. He knows he is loved and accepted just for who he is”.
Just as Jesus gently holds the child, so too, our God tenderly holds us. We don’t heave to earn this love. We are merely invited, like a child, to receive it and to put our total trust in our God who delights in us and loves us just as we are.

“Who do you say I am?”
Imagine Jesus putting this question to you. How would you answer it? How would you answer it, not from words taken from a catechism or textbook, but from your own experience of the significance of Jesus in your life? What does Jesus mean to you? What does his gospel mean to you?
Jesus went on to teach his disciples that following him would be hard at times. There would be a price to pay. Perhaps you also have found that imitating the love and compassion of Jesus is not an easy road? Nor does it come easy to have the constant trust in God that Jesus had. Yet Jesus tells us that this is the way to life. (John Byrne OSA).
