Trinity Sunday 11^th June: Focus: God so loved the world that he gave his only Son. – The life & teaching of Jesus reveal to us that God the Father, Son & Holy Spirit are a community of persons who live together as one in a perfect unity of life & love with one another. As such, we are called to model our lives on the Most Holy Trinity – by seeking to give God glory in all we do & by living in love & unity with God & with one another.

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Paddy Connolly, aged 92, San Francisco, & formerly of Carrowkeel, (brother of Brendan Connolly, Carrowkeel), Margaret McEneaney, (nee Finan) Carrowcarragh & Leeds, her funeral takes place in Leeds on Monday evening & Tuesday morning,.
