HONOURING OUR LADY
DURING THE MONTH OF MAY
We honour our Blessed Lady; we place all our prayers and petitions before her. O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God, do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen
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.
Mon: 8am - 10am
Tues: 8.00am - 10am and 10.30am - 11.30am
Wed: 8am - 10am
Thurs: 8am - 10am
Fri: 8am - 10am and 5pm - 6pm
Sat: 9am - 11am
Come and spend some time with the Lord.
​
We continue to pray the Rosary during the week at 9.15 am before our 10.00am Mass.
WE HAD NO LOTTO winner this week, though two people matched three numbers correctly. Next week's prize increases to €1,500. A total of €405 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.
