Pastoral Visit
The Pastoral Visit to the Parish by Archbishop Adrian Doyle took place from Friday 25th July until Sunday 27th July.He Confirmed nineteen young members of the Parish on Sunday morning at the 9.30 am Mass, when four of those who had not already received the First Eucharist also did so. It was a great cause for celebration among the whole Parish Community.
Archbishop Doyle also visited some of the sick members of the Parish both in hospital and in their own homes.
We are all most grateful to His Grace for his presence and for the time he spent with us all.
Confirmation candidates are reminded that photos will be available for each one in the Sacristy from the weekend of 2/3 August 2008.
Parish Fair
All those with even small talent for craft work of any kind, such as knitting, crochet, woodwork etc. or a green thumb for potting plants, or any other ideas for saleable items, are asked to use even a minimum amount of time to assist in this worthwhile project. Those who are able to assist with items for the cake stall will be welcome nearer to the event. Further enquiries may be made by contacting the Parish Office.
Parish Dedication
Almighty God, we say "YES" to your invitation,
to welcome the stranger, traveller and refugee.
To feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty who come to our door.
To clothe the naked who suffer with cold.
To visit the sick in the hospitals and in their homes.
To care for prisoners, for people caught up in loneliness and despair.
In this way, as a community and as individuals,
we shall live out our baptismal call to bring others to Christ,
by living out the good news your Son proclaimed,
a message of love and compassion for all people.
We ask that your wisdom touch our every word and deed.
Amen.
