Feast of the Baptism of the Lord: 12th & 13th January, 2008
This Sunday January 13th is the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Parents of all the children who have been baptised here during the past year have been invited to attend the 11.30 Mass to remind them of the occasion of their child’s Baptism. In addition this year we will include the celebration of the Baptism of Matthew Mc. Gauran within the Mass. We welcome Matthew into our Christian community and congratulate his parents.
Friday next, January 18th marks the 100th anniversary of the Week of Christian Unity. You are invited to join Archbishop Martin and other church leaders and representatives for the Inaugural Service that will take place in the Pro Cathedral on Friday, January 18th at 8pm.
Our new weekly Parent and Child Coffee Mornings began last Friday. This group have recently established a social network in the parish through which they and their children will get to know each other. All parents and their children are welcome to attend.
Bookings are now been taken for the autumn visit to Rome. While in the Eternal City, the Milltown group will be located in a most attractive residence, ‘Casa di Santa Brigida’ It is situated in the historical centre of Rome and within walking distance of the most famous sites of the city. Further details are available in the Parish office.
A Social Justice Group has been established within the parish. Its purpose and aim is to develop a sense of awareness that justice is central to the Gospel, and therefore that the justice dimension should appear in all deliberations of the parish. Please contact the Parish Centre for further information on this new group.
