Ecumenical Activity

The Blessing of the Graves services on 7th November attracted the largest attendance yet, with both St Brigid’s and St Mary’s overflowing. Many of those present have commented how comforting and reassuring they find the service, and how it helps them cope with the grief of the loss of their loved one. Many thanks to the Church Wardens for the organisation that went into the services. Over €4,000.00 was raised for the Dublin 15 Hospice Appeal Fund.

Hope Calendars for 2005 are on sale to raise funds for the Dublin 15 Hospice Appeal. They are beautifully produced, and St Brigid’s Church and one of our parishioners appears for the month of September! Priced at €10.00 for a very worthwhile cause, it would be good if every household would buy at least one calendar – they are available in some local shops and outside Tesco’s – or contact the Curate or Stella Obe (who are on the fundraising committee).
