PARISHES of St. MARY'S

Luke 13: 1-9
He told this parable,
‘A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but found none.
He said to his vinedresser, “For three years now I have been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and finding none.
Cut it down: why should it be taking up the ground?”
“Sir,” the man replied, “leave it one more year and give me time to dig round it and manure it: it may bear fruit next year; if not, then you can cut it down.” ’.

Today’s Pointers on God’s Word:

* Yes, we are all prone to sin. God is willing to help us if we are humble enough to ask for His Mercy and forgiveness.

* We should try to understand the root cause of our sin e.g. pride and work hard, with God’s Spirit to be more fully aware of such “root causes” and try not to commit the same sin again.

* God is always merciful, as in the parable, but do we take His Mercy for granted and not even take the trouble to prepare ourselves for a good Sacrament of Reconciliation? Lent is a special time for such graces.
(The Jesuit Prayer Ministry)

Céad Míle Fáilte

Firstly a hearty welcome to all who have moved into our parishes in recent times!

Many thanks for visiting our Parish website.
This site has been designed with three aims:

Firstly to aid the work of our priests in our parishes in preaching the word of Jesus and their teaching of His message to us.

Secondly to aid parents, children and adults as our children and young adults prepare for the Sacraments

We acknowledge and respect the diversity of faiths and origins in our multi-faith and multi-ethnic community.

We invite your views and contributions on church and parish life.
Also as this site was built with limited resources there may be aspects that could be improved – do let us know.
