Parish Mission February 29 – March 8
A Time of Hope and Encouragement
Rejoice and be Glad
Members of the Ceílí Community Mission Team will be with us from Saturday next 22nd February.
Team accommodation and meals: Renewed thanks to those who have so generously volunteered to provide accommodation and evening meals. Whilst Mission Collections will be taken up, some parishioners have asked to contribute specifically to the cost of the midday meals. Those who wish to do so are asked to leave an offering in the Sacristy and include their names on a donation register.
Death: We pray for Thomas (Tommy) Newman, Connolly Road and Eileen (Irene) Corcoran, Westview, South Douglas Road, who died recently. We extend our sympathy to their families.
Do this in Memory: Preparation Mass for First Holy Communion this Sunday 16th February at 10.00 am.
