The Ministry of the Word at St. Mary’s
It is a great honour and an enriching, fulfilling and spiritual experience to be a Minister of the Word. The role is to proclaim the word of God to the congregation and make it as meaningful as possible.
The last appeal for parishioners to join the Ministry of the Word at St. Mary’s took place two years ago. In the intervening period the number of readers has reduced for a variety of reasons. In order to continue to meet the objective of having two readers for each Mass an appeal is being made at all the Masses this week-end for parishioners to come forward and join the Ministry. The commitment is to read at a Mass of the reader’s choice for one month every three months.
An invitation is extended to all parishioners who feel they have been given the gift of a reasonable voice (which will be trained to sound better) and a sense of reading aloud (which will be trained to interpret better) to join this most important Parish Ministry.
If you are interested (without commitment at this stage) in exploring further the possibility of joining this Ministry please leave your contact details in the Sacristy or with Deirdre in the Parish Office and I will contact you shortly thereafter.

St Patrick`s One World Project
Our annual collection supporting Lusungu in Malawi was held on weekend of Feb 8/9. The total collected was €2,202. This amount was lodged to Wells for Zoe bank account and will go to support Lusungu in her university education. As we have now reached the amount we committed to, which was to support Lusungu over her three years in third level education we have now closed this project and the Ministry Group running St Patrick`s One World Project will research and decide on a new project to commit to and the collection for that will take place in Feb 2021.
Lusungu is extremely grateful to the parishioners of St Patrick`s parish for giving her this gift of education which, without your support, she would not have had.
Thank you so much for your generosity to this project.
