“He humbled Himself and became obedient…..”

(Phillippians 2:8)

If the Lord invites you to follow Him in humble obedience as a priest or in the consecrated life, how will you respond? Speak to your local priest, or call your Diocesan Vocation’s Director – Fr. Brian Boyle 025-30856 or email the National Vocations Office on info@vocations.ie

Prayer of Intercession:

That from the many called to holiness in Christ, those chosen to follow Him more closely in the priesthood and consecrated life will respond with humble readiness, we pray to the Lord.

The priests are happy to bring the sacraments to persons or couples who feel uncomfortable to enter the church for Mass during these Covid -19 times. In practice it means those who would wish to go to Confession, receive the Anointing of the Sick and receive the Blessed Eucharist (Holy Communion). Please bring this notice to the attention of those who do not come out to Mass and do not have any priest calling to them. Contact Fr. Anthony, Canon Donal or the Parish Office at 063-81319 or email as above.  The winter could be very lonely so allow Jesus to grace peoples’ lives to uplift them.
