Exploring the Acts of the Apostles with Sr. Therese Fitzgerald and the Irish Institute for Pastoral Studies

Hear dynamic stories about the first followers of Jesus – what was important to them, their concerns, how they discerned their way forward in difficult times and how they maintained hope. By learning from their experience, be transformed by the Word of God in your lives today.

Special Parish Collection
There will be a special Parish collection to support Trocaire in alleviating the humanitarian Crisis in East Africa. The Irish Bishops are asking parishes throughout Ireland to undertake a special Collection next week end (6th & 7th Nov) to invite the public to support Trocaire in its work to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in East Africa. I would encourage you to give generously to this collection which will be taken up at all Masses next weekend.
November Month of the Holy Souls
Masses for the Holy Souls will be offered throughout the month of November. Completed lists (list are in the purple envelopes) can be placed in the boxes in either Churches or in the Parish Centre.
Thought for the week
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everwhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family Amen.

Scoil Naomh Cualán
As a thank you to Fr Hennessy for all his hard work in preparing and administering the Sacrament of Confirmation the school presented him with a picture as a token of appreciation. Fr Hennessy is always a great support to the children and staff of the school. We look forward to his weekly visits. Scoil Naomh Cualán is very lucky to have Fr Hennessy as part of our school community.
