Great to be part of an historic day in @CityNorthHotel as we attended the @synodalpathway National Synodal Assembly, where every voice was heard as we reflected on 35 proposals that were fruit of five years of discernment @KANDLEi @JulieKavanagh12 @theway_ie

Over 200,000 people singing the Salve Regina in Latin in Lourdes this evening with Pope Leo XIV.
The faith is alive!
Fr John and Isobel are pictured in our beloved Lourdes getting ready for Pope Leo’s Mass. Isobel has volunteered there for many many years and has been up since 3am preparing flowers for the newly erected altar and sanctuary area for the papal Mass.

Fr. Mike Schmitz becomes emotional in Dublin as he pays tribute to the generations of Irish priests who left their homeland to serve as missionaries in the United States. He says he is a product of their evangelisation.

On this Second Sunday of Christmas I celebrated First Holy Communion Preparation Programme Mass in @g_kparish at 11.30am as we reflected on the Word and words that shape our lives: ‘please’, ‘thanks’ and ‘I’m sorry’ @KANDLEi @theway_ie

Every so often a prophet emerges among us. #SrStan was certainly one of those. She embodied Christ’s love for the poor, and drew attention to the multifaceted nature of poverty that often goes unnoticed. Her voice was a voice for the poor, highlighting unjust structures which keep people poor nowadays. Above all her hands and her heart reached out in practical action. May God reward her.🙏

Great to gather in @g_kparish to celebrate Youth Ministry with many young people present: GK Kids; GK Juniors; GK Seniors and GK Young Adults - what distinguishes youth ministry from a youth group is the central element of prayer @KANDLEi @theway_ie

All are welcome to our Annual Youth Ministry Mass this Sunday. 🕊️ We look forward to our new juniors receiving a special blessing from Bishop Denis at this Mass as an acknowledgment of their involvement in our parish since their Confirmation.
Thank you to all who attended the beautiful mass this evening. It was a very special celebration thanks to Fr John and all the team. 🩵🤍🩷
