The Building Hope Prayer
Pilgrim God,
we give you thanks and praise.
You constantly journey with us
even in our darkness and doubts.
We seek your way of loving kindness to walk together as one family.
Open our eyes to recognise you in the faces of one another, in the breaking of bread and in the splendour of creation.
May the risen Christ sow seeds of hope and new life deep within us.
May our hearts and minds
be filled with your Word,
bringing forth truth, justice and peace.
May the Holy Spirit, working in and through us, do much more than we can dare to imagine,
as we live out our baptismal calling
in humble and loving service.
We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Sacraments in our Parish
First Communion
First Communion Ceremonies in our Parish will take place next Saturday, 20th April for children from Whitecross NS
Ceremony for children from St. Patrick’s NS Saturday, will take place on Saturday, 27th April. Both Ceremonies will take place at 10 am in St. Mary’s Church, Julianstown.
Tickets have been allocated for the Ceremonies and these will be distributed to children from Whitecross School during the week.
Once again, we would like to say, the ticket system is not ideal, however, due to the large numbers for First Communion and the space available in our Church, this is our best option for all.
Sincere thanks to Diarmuid Everard, of Printcom for sponsoring the Tickets, and also the Easter Passports.
Baptism
Our next Parish Baptismal Preparation meeting will take place on Tuesday, 7th May at 7:30 pm in our Parish Pastoral Centre, Stamullen.
Please contact our parish office if you would like to register your child for Baptism.
