Motorist’s Prayer

Grant me, O Lord, a steady hand and watchful eye

That no one shall be hurt as I pass by.

Thou gavest life, I pray no act of mine

May take away or mar that gift of thine.

Shelter those, dear Lord, who bear me company

From accidents and all calamity.

Teach me to use my car for other’s need;

Nor miss through love of undue speed

          The beauty of the world, that thus I may

With joy and courtesy go on my way.

And reach without mishap Eternal Day.

SHANNON HARBOUR MASS  @ 7pm on Thursday August 20^th  .

The theme of this Mass will be ‘Remembering our Emigrants.’

You are invited to write down the names of members of your families living abroad (along with the country or city in which they are living), in the book which will be placed in a strategic place in your local Church.

You might like to include those who have died far from their homeland.

The books will then be taken and placed before the Altar at this Mass.

‘Ar scath a chéile a mhaireas na daoine.’

Reminders form the Bishop

 A National Eucharistic Congress (NEC) will be held in Knock on Saturday 26^th and Sunday 27^th September 2015.  This is a nationwide event, and one that involves us here in our parish. The theme is ‘Christ our Hope’, found in the readings each Sunday until September 26/27. This week you are invited to think about what hope means to you, and from where your hope comes.

 The NEC is a follow on from the International Eucharistic Congress of 2012 and is also a preparation for the next congress to be held in Cebu, The Philippines, in January 2016.  The website for the Cebu International Eucharistic Congress is:  http://iec2016.ph/  

We welcome into the Christian Community Darragh Shrahsn, son of Michael & Kara, who was baptised last weekend in Shannonbridge Church
