Fr. Michael Hinds
Fr. Michael will move to Cork in the coming weeks.
We wish to take this opportunity to thank him for his dedicated service and generous contribution to our parish over the past seven years.
As Fr. Michael prepares to leave our parish — which he has served with such kindness and devotion — we offer him our heartfelt thanks and every blessing in his new appointment as Chaplain to the Navy in Haulbowline, Cork.
May the Lord continue to bless you and protect you in your Ministry.

Sacramental Preparation
We welcome our Confirmation candidates and their families who are joining us this weekend as we begin our Parish Preparation Programme for Confirmation.
To support families’ schedules, we will hold our preparation Masses over two consecutive weekends, during the Vigil Mass on Saturday and the 11:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday in St. Mary’s Church, Julianstown. (You can choose to attend whichever Mass suits you, indeed you can attend both if you wish!
During the Mass, we will have a Blessing of each Candidate’s favourite jersey, T-shirt, top, or school uniform or sports kit. We ask each child to wear their chosen item of clothing for the occasion.
This is, in fact, a Blessing of the Candidate - asking the Lord to grant them the grace they need as they begin their journey of preparation to receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
This blessing is also for their families and all our parishioners, as together we seek strength and renewal in faith at the beginning of this new journey of deepening our love of God.
The Ceremonies will take place on -
- Saturday, 25th October at 7 p.m. – St. Mary’s Church, Julianstown
- Sunday, 2nd November at 11:30 a.m. – St. Mary’s Church, Julianstown
This is a very exciting time for our young parishioners, their families and our Parish.
May the Lord bless us all,
as we share in His love together.
We ask parishioners to pray for these children and their families as they prepare for the Sacraments next year.
