Parishes of Saggart, Rathcoole, Brittas and Newcastle Lyons

"In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the centre of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realisation that I loved all these people, that they were mine and I theirs ... There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun". Thomas Merton, Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, 1966
(Text chosen by Michael Shortall in 2014)
"The super-naturalising Christian ABOVE is incorporated (not immersed) in the human AHEAD! And at the same time, FAITH in GOD, to the extent it assimilates and sublimates within its own spirit the spirit of FAITH in the WORLD, regains all its power to attract and convert!" Teilhard de Chardin, "The Heart of the Problem", 1949
(Text chosen by Donal McMahon in 2024)
