This is Good Shepherd Sunday, a day of special prayer for vocations to the work of service in the Church.
Christ is the good shepherd who has given his life for his sheep. Salvation is to be found in no one else but him.
He is the one shepherd of one flock. He has laid down his life that all might be saved.
Please pray for Noel Graydon recently deceased and for Henry Kelly whose anniversary occurs around this time.
MAY THE SOULS OF ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED THROUGH THE MERCY OF GOD REST IN PEACE. AMEN

Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock led by Archbishop Farell takes place on Saturday 27 April .
The pilgrimage has grown in numbers each year since it was re-launched in 2018 and there is strong interest from across the Archdiocese. Last year, we had a great attendance but are aware that there are parishes or partnerships that have not participated in recent years. In 2024, we are celebrating 145 years since the apparitions in 1879 and this presents an ideal opportunity to invite parishioners to go.
