An evening for those in ministries and services

On Thursday, 7th November, we had the evening of reflection for those involved in parish ministries and services. Fr Silvester O’Flynn OFM Cap gave a very inspiring talk, for which we are most grateful.  But the social aspect of the occasion was also most appreciated. Great to sit around with a cup of tea in the hand and mix with friends.

A special thanks is due to the parish assembly members who made this occasion possible. We are thankful of course to the Day Care staff and Board of Management, especially Michael and Frank.

 

Second Collection today: Youth Ministry Collection

It is not easy to be a young person of faith today. It is important for us to support and encourage our young people in every way we can and encourage them to take part in their local Parish. Sheila Kelleher has begun working as our Diocesan Coordinator for Youth Ministry and there are many youth ministry events planned for the year including Connect 5 (for young adults), Maranatha March 2025 (a faith-based high-energy music event for Post-

Primary school students), the launch of the new Youth Alpha (for teenagers), Altar Server training videos and gatherings to support local Parish ministry. In order for this to happen we need to be able to fund this. Please be as generous as you can as we cannot do this without your support. Investing in our young people is vital for the future of the Church. You may also wish to donate online by scanning the QR Code which takes you directly to our secure donation page.
