Since January 19th last we have experimented with an earlier 6:30pm Mass time. At the time in consultation with the Parish Pastoral Council it was said to be for a trial basis of 6 months. We are grateful for the very varied feedback from parishioners about this, with some finding the 6:30pm good or too early, while others find the original 8pm suitable or too late.
We feel it would be best to review this after the summer in a full manner with all Parishioners. We welcome and appreciate your views on this.
The doctrine of the Blessed Trinity brings us to the heart of the mystery of God. Images help us to enter the mystery. St. Patrick is reputed to have used a shamrock to explain the doctrine to the Irish, while St. Ignatius of Loyola used the image of three distinct musical notes played at the same time to produce a single chord. We invoke the Blessed Trinity as we make the sign of the cross at the beginning and end of every prayer. This simple, profound gesture affords us the opportunity to deepen our relationship with Father, Son and Spirit. Perhaps this approach might help. As you touch the forehead ask the Father to make your thoughts right. As you touch the breast ask the Son to make your heart right. As you touch the shoulders ask the Holy Spirit to make the work of our hands right. The sign of the cross prayed reflectively makes the Blessed Trinity ‘real’.

Hymns
Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven Praise, My soul, the King of heaven, To his feet thy tribute bring; Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Who like me his praise should sing? Praise him! Praise him! Praise him for his grace and favour To our fathers in distress; Praise him still the same for ever, Slow to chide and swift to bless: Praise him! Praise him! Glorious in his faithfulness! Father-like, he tends and spares us; Well our feeble frame He knows; Praise him still the same for ever, Slow to chide and swift to bless: Praise him! Praise him! Widely as his mercy flows. Love Is His Way Love is His word, Love is His way, Feasting with men, fasting alone, Living and dying, rising again Love only love is His way. Richer than gold is the love Of my Lord, Better than splendour and wealth. Love is His way, love is his mark, Sharing His last Passover feast. Christ at the table, Host to the twelve; Love, only love, is His mark. Love is his mark, love is his sign, Bread for our strength, Wine for our joy, “This is my body, this is my blood”; Love, only love is his sign. Holy God We Praise Thy Name
(2) Holy God, we praise thy name; Lord of all, we bow before thee; All on earth thy sceptre claim; All in heaven above adore thee. Infinite thy vast domain; Everlasting is thy reign. Hark with loud celestial hymn Thee the angel choirs are praising; Cherubim and seraphim, In unceasing chorus praising, Ever sing with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy Lord
