ST VINCENT DE PAUL: Annual Appeal : Drawing near to the poor in our midst will touch our lives. It will remind us of what really counts: to love God and our neighbour. Only this lasts forever, everything else passes away. What we invest in love remains, the rest vanishes. Today we might ask ourselves: ‘What counts for me in life? Where am I making my investments?’ In fleeting riches, with which the world is never satisfied, or in the wealth bestowed by God, who gives eternal life? This is the choice before us: to live in order to gain things on earth, or to give things away in order to gain heaven. Where heaven is concerned, what matters is not what we have, but what we give.  Pope Francis. “Remember we do what we can because you give what you can”   ROSCOMMON SOLSTICE CHOIR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL: With guest performance by Westport Children’s Choir. December 5 th  at 8.00p.m. St. Mary’s Church, Westport. A Fundraising event for repairs to Holy Trinity Church. Please give your support.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Chuck Lamphier - Climbing Croagh Patrick 15 October 2014 8:59 a.m. This weekend, Sarah and I joined 30 Notre Dame students who are studying abroad all over Europe in a weekend pilgrimage which including the climbing of Croagh Patrick, Ireland’s Holy Mountain. 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.

Thanks be to God!
