For Parents of children receiving Holy Communion and Confirmation 2024: SAVE THE DATE

"We were delighted to host the workshop for cantors which was a real gift to our parish musicians as it gave an opportunity for our cantors and choir directors and others interested in singing in Church to come together, to be encouraged and supported as they learnt new material which they then took back to their local parishes.  The feedback on the ground after was a call for more of such events which are practical, affirm and encourage good liturgical music in our  parishes and teach new skills. "

Workshop for parish cantors in Glenstal Abbey on Saturday 23^rd September, 10.15 am-11.45 am

Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Day for Life is celebrated this year on Sunday 18 June. The theme is ‘Listen to Her’ and focuses on the experience of one Catholic woman in the aftermath of abortion. It tells of her journey towards healing.  The hope is that this will help people to listen, to understand and to respond with compassion.

On Friday 26th May a special gathering took place in Newcastle West, Co. Limerick, to thank Sisters Marie and Rena for 14 years of dedicated service to the Desmond Resource Complex in Newcastle West.

Twelve people gathered on Saturday 27th May to reflect and pray around the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit. The day was facilitated by Phyllis Moynihan RSM and Ann Mulcahy, Raheen Parish.
