The title (A Post-Mission 'Do') may be slightly inaccurate as the 'do' in question was held on Saturday night and the Mission ended after the Sunday morning Mass. But call it what you will, it was a genuine celebration of the spirit of the Parish Mission lead by the Sion Community.

The Thursday night of our Parish Mission was given over to the theme of the Holy Spirit and culminated with those who wished to do so, coming forward and being prayed with for a new out pouring of the Holy Spirit. It seemed that most of those present stepped forward to ask for the fulfilment of the promise in the scripture: This Promise is for you.

Our parish mission continues and tonight's service took the theme of the "Eucharist". On arrival we were given a piece of scripture, ‘He who comes to me will never be hungry’ (Jn 6:35). The piece of scripture served to remind us that the "Eucharist" is a central part of our faith and essential nourishment for our spiritual wellbeing.

The accompanying pictures may not mean much if you were not at the Family Celebration on the Monday night of our Parish Mission. The Family Celebration was put at the top of the Mission to show the importance that we place on the family, 'we' being the Church.
