Good Shepherd Sunday/Vocations Sunday
Today is Good Shepherd Sunday, when the liturgy puts before us the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd leading his sheep. This is the Sunday every year that we call Vocations Sunday, the occasion when we reflect on and pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Pope Leo XIV We welcome our new Pope and pray that he will shepherd our Church after the mind of Christ. We look forward to his homilies and publications in the years ahead. His vast experience as a missionary in Peru and his more recent work in the dicastery for bishops in Rome should prepare him well for the leadership of 1.4 billion Catholics and also for his role in the wider world. We pray that he will have the peace of Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit at all times.
First Communion The children from Bunscoil Chriost Ri will receive their First Holy Communion next Saturday, 17th May. We pray that this will mark a significant milestone in their life’s journey, one that they will cherish throughout their lives. First Communion Day is not a once off. Its success depends on the follow up which is the responsibility of parents. Sincere thanks to the three teachers who have been preparing the children for this sacrament: Ms Eimear O’Callaghan, Ms Kelly Fitzgerald and Mr Donal O’Keeffe.
Second Collection The annual diocesan collection for the Office for Mission and Ministry takes place this weekend.
Parish Assembly meets this Monday, 12 May, at 8.00 pm
Spring Dues and Easter Collection 185 dues envelopes have been returned so far. In addition, the proceeds of the Easter collection have increased this year. Sincere thanks to all who support the priests’ income in this way. I assure you it is not taken for granted.
Rosminian Mission Appeal Next weekend, 17th and 18th May, the Rosminians will be be making a mission appeal in our parish. The Rosminians work in East Africa, running parishes in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda, providing health care in rural areas, digging water wells for local communities and providing primary, secondary and technical education for both boys and girls, Christians and Muslims.
Our Lady of Knock Novena: SMA Church, Blackrock Rd. 16-24 May at 10 am Mass.
Recent Deaths: Paul Depuis, Deerpark Mews; Sean Madden, Palaceanne Lawn. May they rest in peace. We pray for their grieving families.
Recessional Hymn: Bring Flowers of the Fairest
