Entrance Hymn: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
 And ransom captive Israel,
 That mourns in lonely exile here
 Until the Son of God appears.
 Rejoice! Rejoice!
 Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel		 O come, Thou Dayspring, from on high,
And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Recent Death: Marie Dineen, Fr Matthew Rd. May she rest in peace.

Sacrament of Penance will be offered after all Masses the weekend of 20/21 December, a most appropriate preparation for Christmas.

Thanks Sincere thanks to all who have contributed to the Autumn Dues in support of the priests’ income. The weekly collections are for the running of the parish and do not go to the priests. Thanks to the many parishioners who presented the names of the deceased for the All Souls Novena and for the offerings attached. Mile buiochas.

New Rotas New rotas for Ministers of the Word and Eucharist have just been released by the coordinators, Maeve Kennedy  and Christine O’Neill. Sincere thanks to them and to all the Ministers.

Christmas Cards

Shared Mass Cards are available from this weekend at the office inside the main entrance to the Church. The parish is indebted to Margaret Barry for this service.

As I kneel before you

As I kneel before you
As I bow my head in prayer
Take this day, make it yours
And fill me with your love

Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu

 All I have I give you
Every dream and wish are yours
Mother of Christ
Mother of mine, present them to my Lord

 

Ave Maria…
