The above Icon of Our Lady of Protection was written by Bernie Martin. Bernie is well known in the parish for her many talents, singing and baking to mention just a few. Her sister Clare Murphy is also involved in the parish as a Minister of the Eucharist.
The Icon was donated to St Mary’s Church, in memory of their late parents Jack and Mary Martin.
God Bless those hands Bernie!

St Patrick’s One World Project
Our project supports Lusungu in Malawi under the auspices of Wells for Zoe.
We recently received a letter from Lusungu, the young woman we are sponsoring through third level college in her native country of Malawi.
The following is her letter:
“When I was selected to come to college, I had a fear that I might not attend it because I come from a family which is less privileged and I understood when they told me they could not afford it because college needs are expensive, they are indeed right because it really required much money for transport, food, accommodation, clothes, stationery and of course, fees which make a place in college beyond the reach of most girls in Malawi.
Then this fear disappeared when Wells for Zoe come in and offered to help me. I want to say thank you very much to everyone in St Patrick’s Parish who are supporting me through Wells for Zoe.
My life really changed from the help you are giving me. I’m not missing classes simply because I am always healthy by taking food which you provide for me. I’m also grateful to you because I submit my assignments on time using the money you are giving me, which I use for printing out my assignments. Without your help I would have had to withdraw from the college because apart from you there was no else to offer me that kind of help. So for that thank you very much.
Thank you to John and Mary for connecting me with St Patrick’s Parish, Esker, Dodsboro, Adamstown. I really appreciate it.
May you all remain blessed”.
Lusungu sent us her college results obtained during her first year. They are very impressive and she is obviously studying very diligently.
Thank you to our parishioners who are supporting St. Patrick’s One World Project.
