We will be allowed a maximum of 50 people in the church, with face coverings recommended. The document below details the safe practices that we will follow in the church, which are the same as we applied during similar circumstances last year.
Church Notice - Holy Trinity
As before, anyone who can attend Mass during the week is urged to make one of those days their ‘Sunday’ and so free up a place at the weekend for someone who is working Monday to Friday.

Pastor’s Desk 6th June 2021 - The Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ/B
Corpus Christi: The Body and Blood of Christ
Lord, I believe, help thou, my unbelief.
“The Eucharist is the spiritual life-blood of the Christian because in receiving it we receive the glorified body of the Risen Lord, whose life changes us, raises us up and empowers us to become like him. Pope Francis tells us that in receiving the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ, God comes to us in such a special and intimate way, filling our hearts and minds with his own love and his own thoughts, through the presence of Jesus and with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we are lifted up to be like Him, who loves us and shares His life with us. With Mary we say: Be it done unto me according to Thy word (Pope Francis)
Prayer: O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine.

As we prepare for the safe return to public worship on May 10th Archbishop Farrell has updated parishes on the celebration of the Sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation in 2021.
The public health advice is that ceremonies such as these should not take place at the time of resumption of public worship. For that reason, celebrations of these sacraments cannot take place until we are notified it is safe to do so.
The Archbishop believes that engagement with the public authorities will enable the position to be reviewed in due course over the coming weeks and months.
Given these circumstances he says it is appropriate and necessary that the celebration of First Reconciliation and Holy Communion for 2021 candidates should be deferred until the Autumn. We will follow this advice here in Holy Trinity and St. Paul’s.
The celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation for 2021 candidates may be possible over the summer months if we are notified by public health authorities and the Archbishop that it is safe and appropriate to do so. We will update you as soon as we know ourselves.
The Archbishop realises that this situation will be a cause of disappointment to many families but trusts that they will understand the rationale for this approach.
I trust this new information from the Archbishop provides greater clarity for all parents and children.
Kind regards,
Fr. Gerry

Online Adult & Family Pilgrimage – Saturday April 24th
The online Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage to the International Eucharistic and Marian Shrine at Knock will take place on Saturday April 24th.
For the second year, it will be a virtual pilgrimage. It will include a programme of online workshops from Our Lady of Victories Church, Ballymun Road which can be accessed by webcam commencing at 11.50am. Archbishop Dermot Farrell will address online pilgrims following the Regina Caeli at 12pm. The workshop themes will include Challenge for Families, the Holy Spirit and St Joseph & the Apparition.
After a break for lunch, you are invited to switch to the Knock Shrine webcam at 2.30pm for the rosary. The Pilgrimage Mass will follow immediately afterwards at 3pm and will be celebrated by the Rector of Knock Shrine, Father Richard Gibbons. Our pilgrimage will conclude with an opportunity for quiet prayer with an online visit to the Apparition Chapel.
We hope that you find the pilgrimage to be an inspirational and positive experience. And pray that we may be in a position to gather together in Knock as an Archdiocese for our 2022 pilgrimage.
