DURING THE MONTH of October we pray in a very special way to our Blessed Mother Mary asking her to watch over us, protect us and keep us safe. Join us every morning in St Finian’s church at 9.15am and also after the 10am Mass to pray the Rosary. When we say the Rosary it settles our hearts and minds. It reaches deep down into our souls and puts us at ease, creating a peace that is rare and beautiful. Monday October 7th is the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Rosary will be said at 7pm on that evening. All are welcome.

You can book the Rosary Statue for a week and notice the difference that praying the Rosary brings. Just leave your contact details with Stephanie in the parish office (01 8409043) or with a member of the Legion of Mary. Brona (086 2104151) or Kathleen (086 3242710. The Legion of Mary meet every Thursday at 7pm in the meeting room in St Finian’s.

THANK YOU for all your donations to our church every week. Your kindness is very much appreciated.

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.
