Holy Week Celebrations
Thank-you for the positive feedback I have received about the various Holy Week and Triduum liturgies. The Parish spirituality group are meeting this week to discuss Holy week so any more comments especially on we can develop the liturgies would be most appreciated.
My thanks to all who contributed in anyway. People’s generosity and hard work is much appreciated

Please take a card and keep the Youth Mission and the young people in our parish in our prayers

Annual Mass for Justice and Peace
The annual Mass for J & P will be presided by the Bishop on Saturday 3rd May, at 10.00 am at the Cathedral. Since I am vice chair of the diocesan J & P coordinating council I will be concelebrating at this Mass so I will have three spare places in my car if anyone would like to come for the Mass.
Celebration of Marriage
Everyone who wishes to give thanks for the Sacrament of Marriage is invited to join Bishop Séamus to celebrate Mass in St Mary’s Cathedral on Saturday 10th May at 11.00 am. It is hoped that every parish will be represented and thereby give a powerful witness to the goodness of Marriage.
