From the Pastor’s Desk

No new reflection this week

Lourdes 

Thank you for your expressions of interest in travelling to Lourdes. I’m delighted to say that enough were interested to actually book our trip. There are posters around the Church; to book please contact Jean in the Parish Office. We are travelling with the Dublin Archdiocese from 5th to 10th September .

Intercessions for Vocations 

Fourth Sunday of Lent - In our Gospel St. John tells us that God sent His Son so that the world might be saved through Him and Jesus is the light in the darkness of the world. We pray for those who the Lord calls to bring the light of faith to those in darkness, that they will respond to the call of Jesus to follow as a priest, deacon or religious.

Acts of love for Lent

Call someone who’s struggling with grief, depression or loneliness, just to ask how they’re doing. It’s not the most wonderful time of the year for everyone but your thoughtfulness can make it a little brighter.
