A Word from William
We continued with our Lenten services using the Church’s Ministry of Healing Lenten course ‘Soul Spark’and began Holy Week on Palm Sunday with pampas grass at the end of each pew, instead of palm leaves, to remind us that Jesus was a King with the people for little more that a day. A service followed each night of Holy Week concluding with Easter Sunday.
Thank you to the ladies who so beautifully decorated the church for Easter.
On the evening of Easter Sunday there was a Concert in the Church featuring young traditional Swedish musicians ‘FIKA’ along with ‘LONNRA’ who are young traditional Irish musicians. It was a very enjoyable evening.
The Boy’s Brigade Display took place on 25th April, which was very enjoyable. I am very grateful to the three Dads who have volunteered to come on board as leaders.
Following Lent and Easter I was delighted to be able to continue with our joint Alpha course, which at this time is being run in St. Dominic’s. This is my third time to take part in an Alpha course and I am enjoying the experience.
At this time of year second level students are preparing for state exams and third level are in the midst of exams. May I take this opportunity to wish all those parishioners who are sitting exams the very best with their studies and hope that they are not too stressed or overwhelmed by the work involved.
God Bless William
