PARISH MEETING
During our Parish Mission we were encouraged to grow in our relationship with the Lord as we discussed together how we can be faithful followers of Christ in the new reality of twenty-first century Ireland. At the closing session many parishioners submitted proposals for the renewal of our parish and agreed to help in our parish pastoral programme. The Parish Assembly will hold an Open Meeting in the Parish Centre on Wednesday next 29th May to discuss these how these proposals may best be made part of a Parish Pastoral Programme, to be started in September. Everybody is welcome to attend, particularly those who participated in the mission discussion and submitted proposals.
