Thank you to all the people who donated money to CAFOD over the last two weeks. Thank you also to those who provided such delicious food for Sunday’s COFFEE MORNING and to those who supported the event. It was wonderful to see so many people there enjoying the occasion.
Next Saturday the second group of children will be celebrating the Sacrament of their First Reconciliation. Please keep them and their families in your prayers.

The parish secretary in any parish has a vital role to play and this should sometimes be acknowledged and celebrated. Very often the first port of call for a newcomer, possibly enquiring about a wedding, baptism or funeral, is the parish office. The secretary, or whoever responds, has an important pastoral role to play – whether this is a face-to-face encounter, or the telephone or by email. Also, the parish office team may, week after week, look after the paperwork, photocopying and newsletters.
Following in the good footsteps of Margaret O’Donovan, we have and give thanks for Theresa, Linda and Elizabeth working in the parish office. They are a good team and their pastoral role is valued by us all. The Parish Office is open: MONDAY, TUESDAY, (Closed - Wednesday) THURSDAY & FRIDAY 8.30am TO 1pm |
