Parish Notices 16 & 17 November 2024

The November Altar List of the Dead Envelopes may be handed in during the coming week.  All those on the list will be prayed for during the month of November and on the First Friday of each month during the year.  We invite you to bring a photograph of the people you would like to remember during November and for whom you would like the community to pray for.  You may placer your photographs on the display board in front of the Altar.  We will pray for those we love, for whom ‘Life has been changed, not taken away.’

Introducing our Advent Speaker Series:  This Advent we invite all parishioners to join in our mini advent retreat at the 11am Sunday Masses. We have three amazing speakers lined up to teach us about contemplative prayer and Christian meditation. Save the dates! The talks will take place at the 11am Mass on the first three Sundays of Advent, the 1st, 8th and 15th December. We hope to see you there. For more information please visit the parish Facebook and instagram.

Call for more Eucharistic Adorers – Fridays – We are blessed in this parish to have Eucharistic Adoration in Donabate Church each Friday, currently from 12noon to 4:30pm. This is such a special opportunity to come and spend some quiet time with the Lord. As our team of regular adorers is small, we would love if more people could commit to spending some time each Friday with the Lord. If you would be willing to either (a) commit to a scheduled time and/or (b) to provide cover when some of our scheduled adorers are unable to make it, please contact the parish office.
