We welcome into the Christian Faith Community of St Mary’s, Michael Madigan who was baptised last weekend. We congratulate his parents, Michael and Noelle, godparents, grandparents and extended family.
A huge THANK YOU to Mary and Emily Guidera, USA who sent a very generous €500 donation to St Mary’s. Both girls were baptised in St Mary’s and are now living in the United States. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Your donation was very much appreciated.
Congratulations to Nicola Plescach, member of our Children’s Liturgy Team who won a National Letter-writing competition outlining family involvement. Nicola was interviewed by Ryan Tubridy on his Radio Show last week and people who heard it said Nicola was brilliant. Nicola qualified as a Nurse this Summer, but is taking a year out to care for her family. Well done Nicola, you deserve all the good fortune that comes your way in life – a real role-model for young people in today’s Ireland.
