Look with love on grandparents the world over. Protect them! They are a source of enrichment for families, for the Church and for all of society. Support them! As they grow older, may they continue to be for their families’ strong pillars of Gospel faith, guardians of noble domestic ideals, living treasuries of sound religious traditions. Make them teachers of wisdom and courage, that they pass on to future generations the fruits of the mature human and spiritual experience. Lord Jesus, help families and society to value the presence and role of grandparents. May they never be ignored or excluded, but always encounter respect and love. Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed in all the years of life which you give them. Mary, Mother of all the living.  Amen.   THE JUBILEE YEAR 2025: Pilgrims of hope Croagh Patrick Exhibition will be in the Town Hall Theatre Westport during the month of July.

A SPIRITUAL GUIDE 4: On the summit – a moment to bow your head “Praise God in his holy place”. Ps 150:1 Lord, I’ve made it! And I thank and praise you! I thank you for the beauty of creation, the wonder of my being, the challenge of life’s path, the promise of eternity, the gifts of endurance and hope, the blessing of people along the way. I thank you, above all, for drawing me towards you: towards the realisation that I am loved, that my life truly matters, that you seek my friendship and want me to share in the task of making your kingdom come…I thak and praise you, my Lord and my God! During the time on the summit find a place for yourself to stand, sit or kneel. Be still. God is present. Listen to the promptings of His Spirit. Speak from your heart. Remember, also, your departed loved ones. Their life’s pilgrimage is over. Commend them to the Lord: Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen. REEK SUNDAY NOTICE: 2025 is the Jubilee Year Pilgrims of Hope.

A SPIRITUAL GUIDE 3: At the ridge – a moment to rest “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” Mt 11:28 Lord, what a relief: a level path and a place to sit down! I watch the world go by… Many stop to greet each other. They chat, laugh, lend a helping hand or offer a word of encouragement. One or two are barefoot, some have sticks and many more carry backpacks with extra gear. But what about the hidden stuff, Lord? What about the invisible, private burdens that each person silently carries, Redundancy, Illness, Bereavement, being let down by a loved one, the list is endless… Reflect for awhile on what may be weighting you down…Imagine yourself bringing it to Jesus: how does he respond? As I prepare to climb “the cone” I ask for the grace, Lord to be free of the compulsion to keep busy, to be in control, to make time, instead, to be attentive to you. To myself, to those in need…I press on in your name.Go raibh liomsa inniu,Triúr ar an sliabh Athair, Mac agus Spiorad Naomh. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.   UPCOMING TALK ABOUT CROAGH PATRICK:                                                                                                                                 Please join us for an inspiring occasion as the renowned mountain walk leader and author , Dr John O'Callaghan presents his captivating insights into the spiritual journey and enduring legacy of Croagh Patrick, Ireland's Holy Mountain.  He will be giving us his review of ‘The Croagh Patrick – Pilgrims of Hope 2025 Exhibition’ which is on display throughout the month of July in Westport Town Hall Theatre.                                                                                                                         Date: Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025 Time: 6:00 PM Location: Westport Town Hall Theatre.As Reek Sunday approaches don't miss this opportunity to deepen your appreciation of Ireland's spiritual and cultural heritage.

A SPIRITUAL GUIDE 2: Along the path-a moment to catch your breath “Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life”, Gen 2:7 Lord, As I look back, I notice that I’ve come quite a distance…But I need to stop and catch my breath! Reflect on a time when you found the going tough: When you almost lost your footing Or were stopped in your tracks, A time when you had to take more than a few deep breaths, Feel the air in your lungs: Breathe in peace, breathe out anxiety… Breathe in beauty, breathe out hurt… Breathe in love, breathe out fear… Become aware of God’s Spirit sustaining you… Be “inspired” as you stop and stare… As I resume my journey up this incline I ask for the grace, Lord To remain compassionate towards myself, steadfast despite setbacks and mindful of the fact that mist and cloud eventually lift… I continue in your name. God raibh liomsa inniu,Triúr ar an sliabh Athair, Mac agus Spiorad Naomh. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. WESTPORT ECO CONGREGATION: July is designated as Plastic Free month.  Here are a few ideas as to how you can reduce your use of plastic – buying bottled water costs about 2,000 times more than tap water.  Having your own reusable refill bottle will not only save you money but will reduce the amount of plastic you are using.   500,000 disposable coffee cups are used daily in Ireland!! Coffee cups are not recyclable due to the plastic coating.  Bringing your own Keep cup can not only help reduce waste but many coffee outlets give a discount to customers who bring their own cup.  We can all be part of the solution to plastic waste. WESTPORT ACTIVE RETIREMENT: The Westport Active Retirement are hosting a talk on Monday July 21st regarding Assisted Decision Making regarding powers of attorney. Àine Flynn, Director of the Decision Support Service will be giving the talk. It will be held in the Town Hall Westport at 12.30pm.

The views from the peak are a reminder of life’s vastness and the opportunities that lie beyond the horizon, waiting for us to take that leap of chance. Good health became more than a wish; it felt like a responsibility—to care for ourselves, for one another, and for the Earth that holds us all. And as the wind carried prayers whispered by generations before, it felt like a collective yearning for peace on Earth, a dream we still hold dear, no matter how distant it may sometimes seem. May the year ahead be as grounding and uplifting as the Reek itself. Read More Fr John Kenny 1 January 2025 0:30 p.m. On Wednesday January 1st 2025.

It is said to be the mountain which St. Patrick himself climbed up, and pilgrims have been hiking up its hillside ever since. Those who are feeling especially penitential will climb the mountain barefoot, and apparently we had a contrite batch of students, as at least a third of the group climbed up the hill sans footwear. In all seriousness, it was beautiful to watch them experience the physical and spiritual journey of the mountain. We made frequent stops for short reflections and prayers, and each time we paused, we were reminded of how blessed we are to live on this beautiful Earth.
