Gospel Reflection
Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures:
The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you
and given to a people that will produce its fruit.”
Matthew 21:42–43
My glorious King, You have called us to Yourself and made us members of Your Kingdom.
You have also sent us forth to labor in the vineyard of Your Church and help draw many souls to Your Sacred Heart.
Please reveal to me the role and mission You have entrusted to me.
May I listen attentively to Your gentle commands and respond with a heart full of generosity and faith. May Your Church — of which I am a living member — continue to bear abundant fruit through the grace You pour forth.
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.
Feel free to e-mail us at edgeworthstownparish@gmail.com

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.
