Thank you for contributions towards the Education Fund Collection last weekend & for your continued generosity

towards the upkeep of our parishes.

Lourdes Collection will be taken up this weekend - Please use specific envelopes from annual supply.

This weekend we pray

especially to St. Jacinta & St. Francisco,

who have been canonised in

Fatima, on the Centenary of the Apparitions.

As urged by Bishop Fintan, we pray to the Immaculate Heart

of Mary for vocations to religious life. “Who has faith in Me

will do the works I do, and far greater than these.”

Are YOU being called to do the work of the Lord?

Contact Fr. Iggy, Director of Vocations, at 086-2777139.

We pray too to Blessed John Sullivan, who was beatified in Dublin this weekend.

We thank you Lord for the life & example of Blessed John Sullivan; may we carry forward in our lives his care for the

sick & the poor. May he look after all who have suffered because of a family member who is missing, as he himself suffered through the loss of his brother.

May he intercede for us & may God grant through his intercession the favour I ask. May all

I ask be always in faith in your care for me in life. Amen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
