The Third Sunday of Lent, March 15th 2009


Beautiful sunshine greeted us this morning, and there is a definite sense of spring in the air. There were not quite as many people at mass as last week, but still a very healthy attendance including plenty of youngsters. Today we had a letter from the Archbishop on the subject of Mother's Day and people with disabilities.

A service of reconciliation has been announced for the Tuesday of holy week. It will be at 7pm.

After mass there was a tasty treat courtesy of the Mahon family. A cake sale was raising money for Laura's trip in aid of the Joshua Foundation. She is one of three teenagers in the parish planning trips to help others. Good luck to all of them.

Lent lunches continue on Fridays throughout the season. Please come along at 12.15pm for some soup and a roll.

Next Sunday, Mother's Day, the UCM will have their new banner blessed to mark the 30th anniversary of their foundation. Congratulations! Tickets will also be on sale for the traditional Easter basket. Always tempting.

Meanwhile, keep an eye out for a missing pair of spectacles. They belong to Trudie White.
