PUBLIC “Church Gate” COLLECTION for Ballinasloe Cancer Support Group this weekend
Oh, the love of my Lord is the essence /of all that I love here on earth./All the beauty I see he has given to me/ and his giving is gentle as silence.
Every day, every hour, every moment
have been blessed by the strength of his love.
At the turn of each tide he is there at my side,
and his touch is as gentle as silence.
There’ve been times when I’ve turned from his presence,/ and I’ve walked other paths, other ways. / But I’ve called on his name in the dark of my shame,/and his mercy was gentle as silence.
Mary most holy, from your hands falling
are heaven’s blessings. Hear us, now calling.
Teach us to pray, and work for God’s glory.
Ave Maria, ave.
2. Help us to witness Christ is still living,
service to others cheerfully giving.
Teach us to pray, and work for God’s glory.
Ave Maria, ave.
3. Through joy and sorrow, each day’s condition, / ever, dear Mother, hear our petition.
Teach us to pray and work for God’s glory.

Data Protection Legislation (GDPR) came into force recently. Among the requirement is that the written consent of people whose names are published in the Newsletter be obtained, for example, Ministers of Holy Communion, Readers, Altar Society, Collectors, those involved in looking after church Grounds. Consent Forms will be left in the Sacristies in each of the Churches. The consent form is an essential element of Data Protection compliance. The Consent form is very short and only takes a few moments to complete and can be completed after any of the Masses. I would be very grateful if you could treat the completion of this form as a priority next time you are at Mass.
