PRAYING FOR THE SICK:
If you wish prayers for anyone you know to be sick,
please let Canon Eddie know
IN WRITING ONLY.
The sick will be listed in the newsletter and prayed for generally
at all weekend Masses.
-------------------------* MEMORIAL PLAQUES: St. Peter's & St. Paul's Parishes
At every Mass, we pray for our deceased relatives and friends.
As a Parish community, we now hope
to commemorate our deceased parishioners
in two very special and everlasting ways:
Firstly, we think it fitting to establish a dedicated Altar of Remembrance on which
a Parish Memorial Book will be placed as
a perpetual reminder of all our deceased parishioners. Secondly, we also wish to provide families and friends of our deceased parishioners - and benefactors - the option to dedicate individual/family Memorial Plaques which will be permanently mounted on the walls around this Altar.
A “Memorial Plaque” brochure, available after Mass, contains more details of these plans. We hope you share our view that the Parish plans provide a befitting memorial to our deceased loved ones and that you will support our endeavours.-------------------------------------------
*Exam Season: Prayer for Preparation to Study
Lord, I know you are with me and love me.
Give me peace of mind as I prepare for this time of study.
Help me to focus on my books and notes;
keep me from all distractions so that I will make the best use of this time that is available to me.
Give me insight that I might understand what I am studying and help me to remember it
when the time comes.
Above all, I thank you for the ability to be able to study
and for the many gifts and talents you have given me.
Help me always to use them in such a way
that they honour you and do justice to myself. Amen
(Salesians of Don Bosco, Ireland)Please remember in your prayers all our pupils and students who are preparing for exams at this time.
