At 4pm on Sunday April 26th at Christ the King Church there will be a short period of prayer and adoration for Fr. Seamus followed by Evening Prayer and Benediction.

Would the St. Joachim APF Collectors please bring in your Red Boxes on Sunday.

A very special thanks to you Fr Barry and parishioners for your Easter gift to our sisters in Cameroon. It is particularly touching that you should bless us with your gift this year when everyone is feeling the effects of the financial crisis. However your gift will be appreciated all the more by our sisters in their efforts to maintain the high standards in their parish schools and the school for the children who are both deaf and dumb. In the latter school the children whose age ranges from six to sixteen are boarders since they live very far from the school. Besides that they lack the very basic educational supplies such as books, paper, pencils etc which we take so much for granted. None of our schools receive any state assistence either for equipment or salaries. So your gift will be put to very good use. Thank you all very much again . Be assured of the prayers and gratitude of our Cameroonian sisters and wishing you all the fullness of Joy and peace in the Risen Lord!

Eddie thanks everyone who attended Ellen’s Funeral Mass and for the prayers, cards and help.

Next meeting is on Monday May 11th at 7.00pm in Parish Rooms. Everyone welcome.

This weekend the parishioners of Our Lady of Ransom were informed that Fr. Seamus will be having an operation for cancer on Thursday April 9th. Please remember him in your prayers.
