It was lovely to have Fr. Joe here for a couple of days - he had us singing and clapping at the weekend Masses!! Fr. Joe first came here with Sr. Bernadette and the Education for Life Team about ten years ago and returns when he can. Sr. Bernadette will be home with us again at the end of June.
Booking for the Pastoral Congress in the RDS is now open on our website and includes the possibility of booking free, guaranteed tickets for the Festival of Families and the Final Mass, subject to availability. Details of how to get tickets for the Festival of Families in Croke Park on Saturday 25th August and the Final Mass in the Phoenix Park on Sunday 26th August are currently being finalised and will be available in the coming months. Both are free, but ticketed, events. Children up to 17 are free to all events but remember, all pilgrims, adults and children, will need tickets for every event they attend.
This is not like the 1979 Papal Visit when you 'just turned up'!
YOU MUST HAVE A TICKET

Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Bishop McAreavey.
We thank Bishop John for his ministry in our Diocese and wish him good health and happiness in his retirement.
We welcome Bishop Philip Boyce, retired bishop of Raphoe, who will administer our Diocese until the Holy Father appoints a new Bishop.
Bishop Philip began his ministry on Thursday 29th March at the Chrism Mass in Newry Cathedral at 10.30am.

Remembering those in positions of influence as significant decisions are made for the good of all - for we who are birthed and those who need our care as they come to birth.
Let the child who is in the womb and already who is known to God, be afforded her/his right to birth.
Official Family Prayer
God, our Father,
We are brothers and sisters in Jesus your Son,
One family, in the Spirit of your love.
Bless us with the joy of love.
Make us patient and kind,
gentle and generous,
welcoming to those in need.
Help us to live your forgiveness and peace.
Protect all families with your loving care,
Especially those for whom we now pray:
[We pause and remember family members and others by name].
Increase our faith,
Strengthen our hope,
Keep us safe in your love,
Make us always grateful for the gift of life that we share.
This we ask, through Christ our Lord,
Amen
