Dear Parishioners, We welcome our families who have come to make their commitment to the Confirmation programme. Let us support them in prayer and in whatever practical ways we can. Our young people are so precious to us. I am sad to report that Fr. Joseph is presently quite unwell, and it is a blessing that he is being very well looked after by the staff and sisters at Glendalough. Please keep him in your prayers. In this Year of Grace, we are called on to “contemplate the face of Christ and start afresh”. Later this month, Dr. Michelle Jones will pre- sent a short course in our parish on the subject: “Who do you say I am -the person, life and message of Jesus”. I cannot think of a bet- ter way to begin this year than by taking this short course. Please see the notice below and consider enrolling. Dr. Jones is an excellent and engaging presenter. - Fr.
