EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

“For The Lord”

It would be good to have a few more people involved in Eucharistic Adoration. It was a bit of a surprise to realise during the week that Adoration has been ongoing in the parish since 2013. We were lucky to have many very good volunteers who began this journey. Maybe it’s time for a few more to join them??

CHECK YOUR NUMBERS Alas, not your LOTTO NUMBERS!! Just double check that you have the correct Offertory Envelopes for 2019. The numbering changed so the number you had last year may now be someone else’s and if you went by number rather than name, you might return the box and collect your own. Not sure how many this might apply to but please check. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused!!

URLAUR JUBILEE There will be a meeting in Urlaur Community Centre on Monday January 14th at 8.00pm to look into what we might do to mark the Jubilee of Urlaur Church. All are most welcome and your input would be very much appreciated.

ALTAR SERVERS There will be a short practice for Altar Servers (Kilkelly Church) on Saturday next, January 19th, at 11.00am. Hopefully all serving in Kilkelly Church will be able to attend and your parents are encouraged to come along with you. It won’t take much more than a half hour.

RETROUVAILLE Do you want to improve the communication with your spouse? Do you feel lost, alone or bored in your marriage? Are you hurt, frustrated or angry with your spouse? Does talking about it only make it worse? The Retrouvaille programme can help marriages at all stages. Next programme starts 8th – 10th February 2019. For information contact Tony & Anne (01) 495 3536, Mike & Anne (01) 450 0922, text or call 086 413 5440, or email
