EASTER MESSAGE
I would like to take this oportunity to wish
all our parishioners every blessing, joy and peace
on this Easter Sunday. May the life of the risen Christ
remain forever in your hearts.
A heartfelt thanks for the way you witnessed to your
faith during Lent. It was most heartening to see the
great number of people who attended daily Mass. The
7.00am, 10.00am and 7.00pm Masses were very well attended
as were the two weekly 1.00pm Masses.
The early morning Mass witnessed a large increase
this year and a very special thanks to Bishop Francis
who was up like a lark every morning to celebrate
the early Mass. To Hugo, and Columba his assistant
we are also very grateful. Our gratitude also to all
those who attended the Eucharistic Healing Services.
To John and the choir, Ronan, Noel, St Joseph’s
Brass Band, readers, extraordinary ministers of the
Eucharist, altar personnel, those who cleaned the
chapel, Marian and her team for the magnificent easter
garden in the sanctuary and for her beautiful easter
flowers a very big “Thank You.” Hayley
this year designed the tomb and the overall effect
is superb.
Well done everyone.
The Adoration Chapel has now become a feature of
the church and it is visited regularly. During Lent
this year we advanced the idea of a Parish Pastoral
Council and in a week or two we will be able to let
you know the results of your voting. In a more practical
vein the outside toilets have been competely revamped
and are now state of the art and wheelchair friendly.
Our thanks to Paul and Sean Forbes and their team,
Stephen, Brian and John.
In the meantime enjoy the Easter break with your
family and friends. May the light of this season shine
forever in your hearts.
Declan Boland PP.
COLLECTION

PARISH ENVELOPES
The new boxes of envelopes have now been distributed.
The parish envelope weekly collection is the main
source of income for our parish and it is vital that
as many as possible use them. If it has not been your
custom to use the weekly envelopes why not begin this
year? If you experience any difficulty in getting
your boxes please contact the parish office, Tel.,
71882215. With people moving house, people dying or
others leaving the area we are continually reviewing
and updating our records therefore we depend on you
to let us know if there have been any changes since
last year.
This is also a time to register a very sincere "THANK
YOU" to all our parishioners and friends of the
parish who support us by their generosity and presence.
This witness is deeply appreciated and we ask you
for your continuing support at this time.
