Some of the Latest News of our Parish
World Day of Prayer for Vocations Pope Paul VI instituted the World Day of Prayer for Vocations (the 4th Sunday of Easter) on the 11th April 1964 by saying;
“O Jesus, divine Shepherd of the spirit, you have called the Apostles in order to make them fishermen of men, you still attract to you burning spirits and generous young people, in order to render them your followers and ministers to us” (Pope Paul VI launching the 1st Word Day of Prayer for Vocations)
We pray for all those who dedicate their lives in service of others and the church. In particular we pray for those who may be considering priesthood or religious life.
“Priestly ministry brings satisfaction, again not the satisfaction of security, but the satisfaction of following the path of Jesus which opens to light and hope, the satisfaction of serving others”.
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin.
If you wish to find out more about priesthood or religious life, see http://www.priest.ie/ or why not contact Fr. Eamonn Bourke at
vocations@dublindiocese.ie or at 01 8574198

On Today’s Gospel
Do You Love Me?
Such a simple, yet stinging question. An inquiry that strikes at the heart of any relationship. Do you love me? This is a challenge that cannot be wished away, faked or ignored. It is a question that demands an answer, one of trust and reassurance.
Do you love me? Yes, Lord, we love you. Help us to love each other.

HAPPY EASTER TO ONE AND ALL!
Our thanks go to all who participated and helped in organising our Easter Ceremonies.
Our thanks go to all who participated and helped in organising our Easter Ceremonies.
Risk is usually associated with live-threatening stunts or gambling on the stock market. Risk-takers act in absurdly dangerous ways. Their economic future or life itself can be on the line. So, a bit of safety tempers risk. The prudent person can hedge a risk. The wise person mixes safety with risk, chance with certitude.
Yet, many risks cannot be tempered. Some events in life can take us beyond a point of no return. The choice between safety and risk are clear. The risk to reputation, place in society, and life itself cannot be denied.Faith in the resurrection was one of those risks for early Christians. People gossiped about and plotted against those who held Jesus rose from the dead. The idea was so absurd and laughable, non-Christians thought, that those who believed should be ridiculed and shunned. Even persecuted. But that did not stop the faithful from spreading a message that shocked the world.
17th April: A Date to Remember
