A special time to pray in the Parish for the Parish.

Thoughts for the Day:
Am I lost in wonder at the miracle of the Eucharist? Am I filled with amazement at this incredible gift? And if not, why not?
The ability to wonder is like a muscle, without exercise it wastes away.

We welcome our new parishioners baptised recently: Lily Cleary, Isabel Callaghan, Amelia Dunne, Charlie McLaughlin, Eppie Gavin, Aine Marmion, Jack Regan.

Please pray for the repose of the souls of Kay Hennigan of Newtownsmith, and Una Stevens of Seabank Court, may they rest in peace.
