A truly uplifting and joyous occasion this morning as we welcomed Archbishop Michael to St Mary’s Clonsilla to commission the team from our churches and community who will travel to Cambodia to serve in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Ireland in July.
In his sermon the Archbishop encouraged the parish for their support of Habitat and their commitment to mission. We were reminded that we were all part of the trip, this who travel and those who stay. We live out Habitats mission of shelter, strength and hope through sometimes our words but more often how we respond to our neighbours and those neighbours we are yet to meet.
After lighting a candle that will be lit to remind those who stay as the team travels the Archbishop commissioned the team and all present to go and serve.
Members of the team took part in the service and the Choir sang a beautiful anthem “A New Commandment I give Unto You.”
Following the service we enjoyed refreshment and fellowship together.
