EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Our Parish Eucharistic Adoration takes place each week Monday from 2.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m. (except when Monday is a Public Holiday).
Corpus Christi Next Sunday is the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. It is a time for renewing our faith in the Blessed Eucharist. Perhaps we could invite and encourage somebody who has been away from Mass and Communion to return to the sacrament of love, the sign of unity and the bond of charity.
Visiting the Sick Up to now the list of patients in STGH has been available to priests at Reception, in the Hospital. This is no longer the case. If you have relatives or friends in Hospital, please contact the Parish Office or Fr. Hegarty or Sr. Mary.
Eternal Rest to Kevin Sweeney R.I.P. late of 272 Elm Park, who died during the week and whose Funeral Mass was in St. Oliver’s Church.

Awareness Campaign When an adult has a sudden cardiac arrest, his or her survival depends greatly on immediately getting CPR from someone nearby. From the moment of collapse, the chance of survival decreases by 7-10% per minute when CPR is not being performed. Hesitation cost lives. We hope our simple campaign message of “Check, Call, Compress” will help save lives and improve the outcomes of those who suffer a cardiac arrest.
Check is the person unresponsive and not breathing?
Call Call 999 or 112
Compress Push hard and fast in the centre of the chest until help arrives.
See posters at Church entrances.
We now have a Defibrillator in our Parish Centre.
God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
God the Father,
we praise you and we bless you
because you are the Father of Jesus,
and because you wish to be our Father also
according to your love and mercy.
Blest are you, O Lord, through eternity!
God the Son,
we praise you and we bless you
because you are the Son of the Father’s love,
and because you wish to be the eldest brother also
of all the children of God.
Blest are you, O Lord, through eternity!
God the Holy Spirit,
we praise you and we bless you
because you are the love of the Father and the Son
springing up like a fire out of their affection,
and because you wish to dwell in our hearts also
like a furnace of love.
Blest are you, O Lord, through eternity!
God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
we praise you and we bless you
because you are God surpassing all praise
yet you accept the stammering of our adoration.
To you we direct our love forever and ever.
Blest are you, O Lord, through eternity!
(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
