Pope Francis R.I.P.

Webµaster • May 2, 2025

As usual I was listening to RTE Radio One yesterday and one of the first songs they played was "Jealous of the Angels." And it made me think of Pope Francis. I thought I would put the lyrics of the chorus in this week:


There will be another angel

Around the throne tonight

Your love lives on inside of me

And I will hold on tight

 It's not my place to question

Only God knows why

I'm just jealous of the angels

Around the throne tonight


On Wednesday the College of Cardinals will meet to elect the new Pope.We pray for all of them that they will allow the Holy Spirit to work through them. I will offer Mass on Wednesday for the beginning of the conclave

If you wish to sign up for Gift Aid. It is a great way to help the parish financially, costing you absolutely nothing. If you wish to sign up contact myself or Doreen Lee and we will give you the form and hand it back as you can and we can get it organised. As I said it costs you nothing, but helps the parish so much.

We were given a relic of Carlo Acutis. I am grateful to the family who presented it to us. It is hanging in the side chapel below his icon and statue.  I will be blessing the icon and statue in the near future. There are Novenas now available in the Side Chapel.

I am looking for Volunteers to move the power-points on during the Sunday Masses, Vigil 4pm, 9.30am & 11am. It is very easy to operate, if we get enough volunteers for each Mass we would put a wee rota together. It would take a wee bit of pressure off me.

Sunday is Father's Day and we pray for all our dad's living and those who have passed away. I found this poem and i think it sums up what a loving Dad is: Strength of a Mountain God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need, Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete,  And so, He called it ... Dad
