Gospel Reflection
At that time Jesus exclaimed:
“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones.
Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son
and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”
Matthew 11:25–27
This passage beautifully summarizes the entire Christian life
— the life to which we are called and in which we find our purpose, meaning, and ultimate fulfillment. Jesus begins by offering praise to the “Father, Lord of heaven and earth.”
Though Jesus Himself is fully God, “one in being with the Father”
— co-eternal and consubstantial — He nevertheless offers praise to the Father.
Our Father, You who dwell in the heavens and within the souls of Your sanctified ones,
may Your eternal essence, Your holy Name—the One who was, who is, and who is to come,
the Great I AM — be honored, praised, and glorified forever.
May this glorification shine forth in my life and in the lives of all Your faithful,
as we await with joyful hope the return in glory of Your Son, Jesus our Savior,
when You, together with Him and the Holy Spirit, will establish the New Heavens and the New Earth.
Jesus, I trust in You.

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.
Thirdly to reflect the wider community among whom we live and the various activities and organisations that go to make up our community.
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.

Altar servers play a vital role in the liturgical life of the Catholic Church, assisting the priest during Mass. Their service enhances the reverence and smooth flow of the sacred rites, allowing the congregation to more fully participate in the mystery of the Eucharist.
Chun gach duine dár bhFreastalaithe Altóra ba mhaith linn aitheantas agus buíochas a ghabháil libh.
To each and all of our Altar Servers we wish to acknowledge and thank you for your participation in, and for your contribution to the celebration of Mass in our parish.
As a server you have a special ministry in the Church. Being a server means serving God and his people at Mass. That is what makes serving Mass worth doing, and worth doing well. What you do there and how you do it can help other people to understand the Mass better and make their love for God stronger.
Pope Francis said that
“The closer you are to the altar, the more you will remember to speak with Jesus in daily prayer,
the more you will be nourished by the word and the body of the Lord,
the better able you will be to go out to others, bringing them the gift that you have received,
giving in turn with enthusiasm the joy you have received.”
We invite your brothers, sisters and friends to join you in becoming Altar Servers.
We also invite young people to join our youth choir which adds an extra and very worthwhile dimension to our celebration of the Eucharist.
Anybody interested in joining up please call into the sacristy after any Mass.
