We welcome Fr. Frank Reburn as Co-PP to the parishes of the Glasnevin Grouping. Fr. Frank will be based in our neighbouring parish of Our Lady of Victories, Ballymun Road. Having previously ministered in the Malahide parish of Yellow Walls, Fr. Frank will take up his new appointment from the beginning of September. 

A number of the neighbours gathered on Saturday 5th August 2017 to remember those who died over recent times in the Griffith area, in particular on Griffith Close and Griffith Heights.

A tree was planted and the names of those who died were inscribed on memorial stones. Fr Joseph was invited to bless the memorial tree and bless the houses in the locality. After prayers people chatted and even a bottle or two of vino appeared and “vanished”.

Over the years there have been different deaths, tragic, sudden, after long/short illnesses. In each case families are left behind to carry on. To have a special place to remember and say a little prayer can be of great consolation.

 This memorial space brings a sense of community and no one is alone. We all have neighbours and are together in our grief and joys too.

Some of those who gathered at the corner of Griffith Close for the blessing ceremony. Thanks to those who organised the event and may the memories be a source of strength and blessing to all who are grieving at this time.

Next Friday is the First Friday of July, when we pray for all the faithful departed at both 7.25 and 10 o’clock Mass. If you know someone who is house bound and would like Holy Communion brought to them please leave in their name, address and phone number into the sacristy/office during the week.

Information evenings will be held in Clonliffe college 27th /28th June for representatives of parishes who are interested now in preparing for the World Meeting of Families 2018. These meetings will give a detailed outline of the resources available and a chance for parishes to think about what they might like to do after summer in preparation for this great event. If you are free and interested contact us in the sacristy or parish office for more information.
