KILL-O-THE-GRANGE
Parish Mission Statement
Our Parish seeks to live as a family – supporting one another, open to all comers, building a community where each person feels wanted and cared for. To make this happen, we will work to grow in holiness through prayer and service and we will try to show God’s love in our daily life
Thank You
Frs. John Killeen, Michael O’Connor, Rev. John O’Neill (deacon) and the parish staff together with the Holy Family Parish Community wish you blessings and joy during this Christmas season as well as a very happy New Year in 2020.
Parish Environmental Group
Yes, to hope: The new year is just upon us. As always there are the challenges, crises, unknowns and knowns, threats and opportunities. We could get depressed, hunker down, just endure what might come. But the Gospel message is one of hope. God created the world and watches over it and us. He has given us faith, intelligence, knowledge and free will. He wants us to make the world a better place. More just, more sustainable, less grasping, more sharing. He has made us trustees of the earth. So we should meet the environmental challenge willingly, not despairingly; We know we all have to do more, so let’s do it in hope. Pray and act. And why not join our parish litter clean-up on Sat 4 Jan, Resource Centre, 10.30pm?
