The Most Holy Trinity
THREE IN ONE
The figure THREE symbolises completeness and perfect symmetry. God is love. There are Three Persons in the Trinity, the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Together they represent the fullness of love. The Father loves the Son, the Son loves the Father. The Holy Spirit is their love for each other. We are made in the image of a triune God. God the Father, who created us, his Son who saved us, and the Holy Spirit who continues to guide us. Our lives should reflect the Trinity. We should be always creative like the Father, compassionate like his Son, and dispose our talents in the service of others like the Holy Spirit.
WE HAD NO LOTTO winner this week, though one person matched three numbers correctly. Next week's prize increases to €1,900. A total of €400 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.

PILGRIMAGE OF HOPE
You are invited to join us on a Pilgrimage of Hope on Saturday, 14th June 2025. Pope Francis encouraged us to rediscover the ancient practice of pilgrimage during this Jubilee Year 2025. There is a slight change to the time and place where the pilgrimage is to start. It is now starting in St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral at 10.30am and ending at St Andrews Church Westland row. We shall visit the four city churches designated as Jubilee Churches in our diocese. At each church we will view a ‘Pockets of Hope’ exhibition which was inspired by the writings of Pope Francis. We will bring packed lunches and finish at St. Andrew's, Westland Row, where they have allocated a space for us to have lunch together. There is no charge and we will be walking between the churches. Please see the poster and leaflets at the back of the church for further information and details of the route.
​
BUILDING HOPE
Once again we listen to members of our PPC this weekend at all Masses on building hope on renewal for the Diocese. It will help us to understand and encourage us find our way, step-by-step, working more deeply together, as we build our partnerships of parishes, embracing the road the Spirit is bringing us on. Our faith calls us to open our hearts, not only to renewing our own commitment to Christ, but to rediscovering our parishes and partnerships of parishes as places of mission.
