1st Sunday in Advent
Christ the King
the Ruler Eternal
following the line of David
promised by God
Entering in, his gates,
his throne room
gathering in all of his sheep
Known to him
Each of us humbly
bowing before him
our Brother, our Savior,
our Shepherd, our King
Christ’s rule eternal
over all the Kings of the earth
The year at an end,
the Advent before us
the Advent, the joy of Christmastide
and his humble earthly birth.

We invite you to join us for a cuppa and a chat every Wednesday morning in Our Lady’s Oratory in St Finian’s Church after the 10.00am Mass.

WE HAD NO LOTTO winner this week, though three people matched three numbers correctly. Next week's prize increases to €4,300. A total of €515 was received in the Parish from people playing the Lotto last week.
​​
Thank you to all who participate in the parish Lotto every week. Don't forget to pick up your Lotto envelope at the church!
​
All Lotto envelopes must be submitted by 6.00pm every Sunday night. All funds from the Lotto draw will be used to complete works on both St. Finian’s Church and Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church - including renewal of ceiling and floors, and waterproofing and painting of exterior walls.
​
Please note that all Lotto envelopes should be posted through the Donation box on the wall just inside the church door and not through the parish office letterbox. Thank you for your support. Best of luck to everyone who enters our draw.

Many thanks to everyone at St. Finian’s Church for all your generosity towards the Monthly outdoor collection for St Vincent De Paul.

SINCE THE NIGHT of Holy Thursday, spending quiet time in prayer with the Lord in the Eucharist has been central to the Christian way of life. Here in St. Finian’s, we have special times when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed so that you may come and pray.

Wed: 8am - 10am
Thurs: 8am - 10am

We continue to pray the Rosary during the week at 9.15 am before our 10.00am Mass.

NOVEMBER ALTAR LIST OF THE DEAD
Envelopes for the November Altar List of the dead are available at the front and the back of the church. Please take one home and maybe take one for your neighbour, as they may not be able to visit the church but would like to leave a list in.
During the month of November your list of the dead will remain
on the altar, and every First Friday of every month your loved ones will be remembered in our Daily Mass.
May they rest in peace.
