I invite you to consider hosting a station mass for your area this season. You are welcome to contact the Presbytery at (066) 9151208 to arrange a date.

Machnamh / Reflection
Lent is a time to learn to travel light,
To clear the clutter
From our crowded lives and
Find a space, a desert.
Deserts are bleak; no creature
Comforts, only a vast expanse of
Stillness, sharpening awareness of
Ourselves and God.

• Come to Mass every weekend
