⛪️👨‍👩‍👧FAMILY MASS 👨‍👩‍👧⛪️

The Family Mass will be resuming today 13 September and we look forward to having the children participate in the Liturgy of the Mass again and of course to the return of our amazing choir. If your child would like to get involved in readings, prayers or the offertory procession please speak to one of the ladies of the Children’s Liturgy Group after Mass or leave your details with Fionnuala in the Sacristy.

We invite you to join our Family Mass & Children’s Liturgy Group at 10:30 am at St. Paul's Parish Church.

We know that the sounds of children are the sounds of a living church. Our group is all about making the Gospel come alive for little hearts in a way that’s easy to understand and fun to follow. It’s a wonderful chance for you to find a moment of peace and prayer while your children grow in faith alongside new friends.

We can’t wait to welcome you into our parish family!

GIFT – Growing in Faith Together is a fun, faith-filled programme designed to help the seeds of faith planted through the Sacraments in primary school continue to grow. Through friendship, activities, prayer and shared experiences, GIFT encourages young people to discover that faith is not simply something we receive, but a living relationship with Jesus that can become a natural and joyful part of everyday life.
Our hope is to nurture that seed, ignite a fire in the hearts of our young people, and give them the confidence to live their faith openly. By becoming who God created them to be, they can inspire others, carry His light into their homes, parish and communities, and set the world aflame once again!

“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.”
— St. Catherine of Siena

August 29 - Memorial of the Passion of Saint John the Baptist

Today, we remember the Memorial of the Passion of Saint John the Baptist, a courageous prophet who remained faithful to God and fearlessly spoke the truth, even at the cost of his life. His martyrdom reminds us to stand firm in our faith, live with integrity, and place God above fear and worldly approval.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us, that we may have the courage to witness to the truth with faith and love. 🙏🕊️
