Don’t forget to return your CHY Tax Certs. You can drop them into any of the letter boxes in the porches, at a time that convenient to you. These forms permit us to claim tax incentives under the Charities Act from the Government, which in turn increases our income to fund the upkeep & maintenance of our church.

The Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock, scheduled for Saturday April 26th, has been deferred as a mark of respect to Pope Francis, whose funeral will take place on that day.

The Feast of Divine Mercy will be celebrated on Sunday 7th April in St. Vincent DePaul Church Marino with Holy Hour from
3.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m. and Holy Mass at 4.00 p.m. Confessions will be available from 3.00p.m. to 4.00 p.m.

The Divine Mercy Devotion (similar to devotion to the Sacred Heart) had its origin in the now approved revelations made to St. Faustina Kowalska (1905 – 1938). This devotion has the blessing of the Church and was especially promulgated by Pope Johnpaul II who declared Sister Faustina a saint in millennium year.

The Divine Mercy image is the image of Risen Christ on the first Easter, on the evening of the Resurrection, miraculously appearing in the upper room and bestowing on the apostles the power to forgive sins.

Next weekend – 29/30th March – a WELCOME DAY will be held in the Parish. It is an opportunity to learn more about the Ministries and activities that take place in our Parish – which help to make it a welcoming, faith-filled community.

We encourage everyone to find out more by chatting to some of the current volunteers who will be available in the church after the weekend Masses.

We have a great parish community and are always looking for new volunteers to help support and maintain it into the future. No offer of help is too little and we will be very grateful for any support that your available time and circumstances allow.
