Circle of Prayer: At this Easter Season, we give thanks to parishioners, members of the Visiting the Wise Group and Tuesday attendees at Leopardstown Park Hospital who are praying for the children preparing for First Holy Communion and who attend the parish schools or St Michael’s House. The children prepared brightly coloured name cards and many parishioners chose one at the end of daily/weekly mass. A number of parishioners have been in touch to find out when the child they are praying for is receiving the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. The dates are as follows: St Mary’s – 25th April; Our Lady of the Wayside and Gaelscoil Thaobh na Coille – 9th May, St Michael’s House: 11th May; Holy Trinity and St Patrick’s – 16th May; Church of Ireland – 23rd May. The children and their families appreciate that they are part of a parish “circle of prayer” leading up to the sacrament of First Eucharist.
