Happy Easter! - Easter Sunday
A message from Fr. Liam...

H
           oly Week and Easter are the high points in our liturgical year, and in the celebration of this
           holy and sacred week there is much work, effort and participation.
           On this Sunday, Easter Sunday, we express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all our
Sacristans in all four Churches, our Choirs, Cantors and Musicians. Readers, Eucharistic Ministers
(and their coordinators), Collectors, PowerPoint Volunteers, Stewards, those who clean and prepare
our Churches, those who have beautified our churches with floral arrangements. Our parish office
staff on the Sallins Road and in Ballycane.
To each and every one of you, Thank You!
And, to you, the parishioners for faithfully attending and making holy these special days, thank you for
your kind and generous support to the parish by way of the basket collections, online and with tap
and go.
The Easter Collection is taken up in support of the priests of the parish and on my own behalf and on
behalf of my colleagues, our sincere thanks and gratitude for being so kind and generous to us.
We deeply appreciate it!                                                           Thank you!
                                In the words of Pope Francis:
                                   “We must restore hope to young people, help
                                    the old, be open to the future and spread
                                    God’s love.
                                    We are all imperfect.
                                    How can we, in our daily lives, in our
                                    parishes, adequately show Jesus that we
                                    truly appreciate his sacrifice and
                                    reciprocate his love?”
