Palm Sunday 25^th March: Focus: The Father responds to Jesus’ willing self-sacrifice by raising him to glory. – As we begin to recall & commemorate the events of that first Holy Week, when Jesus willingly laid aside his glory & embraced the cross for our salvation, may we be filled with gratitude & awe at one who loves so much.

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Kathleen Kivlehan, Belra, (nee Gavigan, Stonepark, Aclare).

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
