CLIMATE AID
“Let Justice Flow like Rivers” was hosted by the Irish Council of Churches (ICC), the Inter-Church Meeting, and the Church leaders. In her opening remarks, the Right Reverend Sarah Groves, President of ICC, described the event as the first formal occasion on which all member denominations met to consider their environmental responsibilities. It brought together not only church leaders and clergy but international theologians and academics, a Northern Ireland government minister, and the everyday volunteers who strive to deliver the work of creation care in church buildings, grounds and communities.

Parish Partnership Name
More than 20 names were submitted from the 5 parishes with a good deal of thought.
It was agreed that the partnership name should have a geographical theme-The Deansgrange Partnership was decided upon. Deansgrange equidistant from all 5 parishes, is a well-known neighbourhood to all parishioners, is identifiable by name throughout the diocese and not least many parishioners from all 5 parishes are laid to rest in the cemetery there. The point was made that so many of the people buried there had probably funded the building of all our churches.
It was agreed that we will consider adding to the name “Under the patronage of- a patron saint- at our next meeting. Paul (Foxrock) will advise the Diocese of the name of the Partnership.”
(Meeting of Partnership on 13 Jan 2026 at Holy Family
