Sincere Sympathy to Michael,
James, Mary & Catherine Curley on the death of their father Pakie RIP, and to
Judy McKeigue on the death of her brother Vincent McKeigue RIP who died in
England during the week
Offertory Collection for last weekend was
€369.14
Mass next Sunday at 11am will be
Enrolment Mass for our eight young people who will be making their First
Penance and First Communion this year
Wednesday next is Ash Wednesday - Ashes
will be blessed and distributed at 10am mass. Hopefully the school children
will be able to come to this mass. In this year of the Eucharist, I would hope
that as many people as possible would come to Mass during Lent and indeed I
had also hoped that every Station area would make a special effort to ensure a
station mass in their area in the year of the Eucharist. Only remaining
Stations arraged at for:
8pm Friday 11th February: Kellysgrove: Joe and Brid Moore
8pm Friday 25th February: Liskelly: Paula & Tony Larkin
Please make arrangements for your station as soon as possible
Next weekend the annual collection for
the Diocesan Pilgramage to Lourdes will be taken up. Please be as generous as
you can. I went with the Diocesan Pilgrimage last year for the first time and
I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the mighty work done by all
the volunteer helpers with quite a large wheel chair group (incl. Fr.Declan
Gordon). This collection is held each year on the weekend before the Feast of
Our Lady of Lourdes - 11th February - which is also World Day of Prayer for
the Sick. The Mass on that Friday evening will be at 7pm and will
incorporate the Sacrament of the Sick for anyone who wishes to receive it. I
will try also to give the sacrament to anyone unable to come to Mass earlier
in the day if they let me know in advance
Papers at the back of the Church: "Irish
Catholic" 80c & "The Voice" €1, It would
be an excellent thing to make it a new years resolution to get at least one
Catholic Paper per week in your home. I notice that very few, in fact, none,
of the papers without of the names have been taken over the last several
weeks. So I am inviting you to take a paper free of charge and I will pay for
them from the Church Account. If you read them, I think you will find
them interesting. I will expect payment for them from the 1st March on
and if they are not taken during March I will cancel them at the end of March
Friday next is the Feast of Our Lady of
Lourdes And World Day of Prayer for Sick. The evening mass will be a mass of
healing and will include the Sacrament of the Sick. Anyone who is unable to
come to Mass and who would like to receive the Sacrament of the sick that day
will be visited in their homes if they let me know.
