Strong volunteers needed!

There is some furniture to move from the church garden/parking to the office of our new Administrative Assistant, opposite my office on the ground floor of the couvent St Alphonse. Strong hands would be greatly appreciated at 10:30 tomorrow (Sunday 17th June) morning to help with the lifting and carrying. If possible, contact John Heffernan beforehand by email or phone/SMS: 691 807 320

Thanks in advance!

To Brexit, or not to Brexit…?

The Archbishop of Canterbury has described the EU as: ‘the greatest dream realised for human beings’ for the last 1500 years ‘since the fall of the Western Roman Empire’. Yet Britain wants to leave……

Our parishioner Stephen McCarthy, together with John Speed, are holding an open meeting entitled: Deconstructing the Brexit Debacle: What role for the EU? at 7.00 pm on Tuesday June 19 at the Jean XXIII Centre.

This event will be of interest not only to the UK members of our parish community, but because of the wider issues it raises, to many others also.

Concert and Prayer

Next Sunday evening, as usual, we will have an hour of Eucharistic adoration beginning at 18:00, leading into our Mass at 19:00. This time we are privileged to welcome the Liturgical Polyphonic Choir of the shrine of the Divine Mercy, Vilnius, who will accompany our time of prayer, and will also sing during the Mass. This is a rare chance to enjoy beautiful spiritual music in the context of the liturgy — we hear beautiful music, which lifts our hearts and minds to God. Entry free, (free-will collection, CDs available).

Not to be missed!
