Mission Statement - Our Parish seeks to live as a family – supporting one another, open to all comers, and building a community where each person feels wanted and cared for. To make this happen, we will work to grow in holiness through prayer and service and we will try to show God’s love in our daily lives.
Your prayers are requested for the souls of Rosaleen Dignam and Greg Foley recently deceased, and for Caroline McGlynn, Madge Byrne, and Frank Horan whose anniversaries occur around this time.
MAY THE SOULS OF ALL THE FAITHFUL THROUGH THE MERCY OF GOD REST IN PEACE. AMEN.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity ends 25th January “The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is a privileged moment of prayer, encounter, and dialogue. It is an opportunity to recognise and receive the richness and value that are present in the other, the different, and to ask God for the gift of unity. “From Archbishop Dermot Farrell’s letter of 4th Jan. 2023
Church Heating Costs
10 a.m. Mass from Monday to Saturday inclusive is in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel in order to reduce church heating costs. You may be already aware of the high cost of this heating due to the huge increase of gas costs (Average cost monthly € 4,500).
Electric Thermal Radiators will be installed in the Blessed Sacrament chapel for your comfort during mass (cost € 2,400). Donations to help to defray costs are invited. Outside of weekday Masses, the other Masses will be in the Main Church which will be heated. Thank you for your patience. A generous donor has enabled the extension of the webcam to the Blessed Sacrament Chapel for weekday Mass at 10.00 a.m. The church upkeep, including the heating costs, is solely funded from the voluntary family offerings – the standing orders & donations put into the blue box. Thank you for your generosity.
The monthly collection for the St Vincent de Paul takes place after Masses this weekend. Please give as generously as you can.
