Prayer for our Priests
Please keep our diocesan priests in your prayers this week.
We pray for their rest, renewal, and spiritual strengthening and renewed strength to serve the people of God.
May God bless them and guide their calling.
Prayer for Priests
Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of our priests.
Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.
Help our priests to be strong in their vocation.
Set their souls on fire with love for your people.
Grant them the wisdom, understanding and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
Inspire them with the vision of your kingdom.
Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel.
Allow them to experience joy in their ministry.
Help them to become instruments of your divine grace.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our eternal priest.
Amen.

Our Parish is part of the Pastoral Area which includes, Laytown/Mornington, Drogheda (St. Mary’s), Ballsgrove and Donore. The group have made suggestions regarding the name for this Area and we will let you know as soon as a decision is made.
Tea and Fellowship
One decision the Parish Pastoral Council made was to invite you to join fellow parishioners for a cup of tea after 10 am Mass in St. Patrick’s Church on Sunday, 31st May
This is an opportunity to meet your fellow parishioners and have a cup of tea and a chat, join us in our Parish Pastoral Centre, either after 10 am Mass or before you head to 11:30 am Mass in St. Mary’s.

Cars will be blessed after all Masses on Saturday, 6th and Sunday, 7th June.
