Online and Envelope Donations last week: Dear Parishioners As you know all our Masses in Imeall Boirne are held behind closed
doors and only available online at this time for our own safety and
protection. In these strange times as we look forward to celebrating
Holy Week & Easter our thoughts and prayers are with you as we
journey together through this Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown. We hope you are not too stressed by the present challenges we face in
our daily lives. Even though our Masses have to be offered privately
please be assured that they cover all your intentions everyday.
We pray that you and your loved ones will be protected from all
illness and anxiety at this time…………. As Easter people journeying through life we know that God is always
with us every step of the way. That is our strong support and
encouragement that sustains us during this current situation.
Blessings on you and yours at this time. Crosses for Palm Sunday will be available in all 4 Parishes.
Bottles of Easter Water will also be available.
More details in next weeks Newsletter THE TRÓCAIRE campaign for 2021 explores the impact of conflict on families in South Sudan. ‘No one can face life in isolation … We need a community that supports and helps us, in which we can help one another to keep looking ahead. How important it is to dream together… By ourselves, we risk seeing mirages, things that are not there. Dreams, on the other hand, are built together. Let us dream, then, as a single human family, as fellow travellers sharing the same flesh, as children of the same earth which is our common home, each of us bringing the richness of his or her beliefs and convictions, each of us with his or her own voice, brothers and sisters all.’ (Pope Francis) The Trócaire boxes for Lent are available in our Churches. We invite and encourage you to collect one for your home and during the season of Lent through your financial support think of the people of South Sudan who are struggling and displaced. Cakes!!!
