Spirit Hour this Sunday 24th May @ 7pm in the church is a special one for those with upcoming exams. It's a stressful time, and this beautiful hour will fill the soul with gentle music, reflective words, candlelight and stillness.

We wish all students the very best and encourage you to come along.

Organised in partnership with local parishes.

Well done to Betty, a dedicated volunteer in the parish, who organised the fundraiser for the Alzheimer Society of Ireland during the week. €1,518 was raised on the day and with other donations, the final total should reach almost €1,900. Outstanding generosity! Thanks to SuperValu Knocklyon for sponsoring a hamper prize for the raffle as well and all the volunteers who helped make it such a success.

Rockbrook Park School organised a family pilgrimage to Knock on Saturday which was a wonderful experience for all involved. All the Special Intentions of the Rockbrook Community were remembered during the Rosary and were prayed for again during Mass. This was the first year such a pilgrimage was organised, and will now become an annual event. Some inspiration for other local schools who may be considering similar - the organisers are happy to talk and provide a schedule/plan to help.

The signatures and messages for Father Cyril on the large framed poster print created as a leaving gift ran front and back of the page. This lovely message caught our eye, which was written on the back of the poster.

"Where there is no path, make one with kindness.
Where there is no life, plant seeds of compassion".

Isn't that just lovely? Words to live by.

It was so appropriate that Fr. Cyril's final celebration of Mass as Parish Priest of Knocklyon was on Good Shepherd Sunday.

The warmth of embrace and outpouring of love was genuine and heartfelt for a man who will forever be part of the fabric of our lives.

We thank him for his service and wish him the very best in his new role.
