St. Brigid`s Prayer Group Meeting in Parochial House on Tuesday December 3rd at 7.15pm. New members welcome.

St. Vincent De Paul We all find ourselves in times of need throughout our lives. We are making an appeal to the wider community this Christmas for help for those who are struggling to survive on tiny inadequate amounts of money, people who are unable to heat their houses or deciding what time of day to eat their only food. It is unthinkable how hard it would be in this situation to try to make a loved one smile on Christmas morning and to try and make it memorable for children. Please dig deep and make an extra effort early before Christmas so the volunteers can get help where it is needed in time. Remember 100% of every penny and every item collected will be given to the needy in this parish. The Christmas collection will take place after Communion on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th December. If you or your family are in that situation today why not contact St. Vincent de Paul Society on 087 2520382.

Craft Evening at 7.30pm on Tuesdays. Join us for work, a chat and a cuppa, all for €2

Yoga Classes Wednesday night 7pm to 8.14pm and Friday mornings 9am to 10.15am.

Prayer to St. Brigid

Saint Brigid, You were a woman of peace. You brought harmony where there was conflict. You brought light to the darkness, and hope to the downcast. May the mantle of your peace cover those who are troubled and anxious and may peace be firmly rooted in our hearts and in our world. Inspire us to act justly and to reverence all God has made. Brigid you were a voice for the wounded and the weary. Strengthen what is weak within us. Calm us into a quietness that heals and listens. May we grow each day into greater wholeness in mind, body and spirit. Amen.

TODAY WE CELEBRATE the “Epiphany of the Lord”. The word “epiphany” means “revelation”. Jesus came to reveal the Father. The Magi or three Kings were searching for Christ. When they found him, they worshipped him and offered him gifts. Millions of people have followed in the footsteps of the Magi and come to Christ. We count ourselves among those fortunate millions. The coming of Jesus, the Light of the World and Messiah of Israel, is the dawning of every human hope and dream. God’s revelation of himself in the coming of Jesus is offered to everyone. Let us open our hearts and minds to encounter Jesus in every Mass.
