We invite you to join us as we celebrate Holy Week in our Parish. ************ Easter Easter is the greatest feast in the Christian calendar. On Easter Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Easter Sunday comes at the end of 40 days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving known as Lent. We have prepared to die spiritually with Christ on Good Friday so that we can rise again with him in new life on Easter Sunday. Fr. John Ferris P.P. Fr. Charles & Fr. Emmanuel and the Parish Pastoral Council would like to wish all Parishioners a Very Happy Easter. Congratulations to the boys and girls from Scoil Naithí who celebrated their first Holy Communion last Saturday. The roster for Eucharistic Ministers for all Easter week Masses now posted at the Church porches. There will be a rehearsal meeting for the ministers on Wednesday evening next April 1st at 8.30pm led by Annette Finn. The Sunshine Fund of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is holding its annual collection outside the Oratory this weekend. Each year, the Sunshine Fund provides much-needed sea-side holidays for approximately 1,000 of Dublin’s less fortunate children. The advocate collection is the only way the Sunshine Fund can finance these holidays. Please collect an Advocate Paper on your way out of the Oratory in support of these much needed holidays.
