Our two parishes held ceremonies of remembrance in honour of all those who took part in their different ways in the events of Easter 1916. They were conducted in the spirit of inclusiveness advocated, among others, by the two archbishops of Ireland. Below you will find a selection of photo-slides as a souvenir of the ceremonies which took place in Rathcoole on Easter Monday, 28 March 2016, and in Newcastle Lyons on Sunday, 24 April 2016. The photos were taken by Liam Roche (S/R/B) and Bridget Breen (NL) and captions/presentation are by Donal McMahon (WebSec).

Centenary Prayer of Remembrance
(From Dublin diocesan website here)
Lord, Merciful and Kind,
I remember the men, women and children
who died during 1916 and throughout the
troubled journey of our island’s history.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha.
Look kindly I pray, on the people of Ireland
from all traditions, at home and abroad.
To you O God, we long to sing a new song of
compassion, inclusion and engagement in a
spirit of true freedom.
