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
