The parish has prepared an invitation card for each registered candidate which outlines your assigned seat and also Health & Safety measures that we would ask you to follow on the day.
Most of the candidates have moved schools within the parish and the schools they have transferred to are kindly supporting the parish in distributing these invitations to the candidates this week, so please check your child’s schoolbag.
We have done our best to identify those registered candidates who have moved outside of the parish to make arrangements for them to collect their invitation.
If your child was registered but you did not receive an invitation please contact the parish office, preferably by email. Please note that the parish office is closed until Thursday 23rd September.
Kind regards,
Fr Gerry

Outlined below are the specific dates & times per the school, class & teacher as recorded at the time of registration.
In the event that you are unable to attend the date/time allocated to your child, please contact us by email info@holytrinityparish.ie and we will re-schedule you to another date/time.
Similar to last year’s Sacraments we will be issuing invitations for each candidate which will admit 4 people in total, i.e. the candidate & 3 other family members, this is what we must do to ensure the Sacraments can go ahead & we are trusting that everyone will respect & adhere to the restrictions.
Each candidate will be assigned a specific seat number & this will be specified on the invitation and we will contact you closer to the time with details of the how/when/where in relation to the invitations which MUST be brought with you to the Church on the day.

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.

Funerals and weddings will both be limited to 50 people attending the ceremony.

The parish has prepared an invitation card for each registered candidate which outlines your assigned seat and also Health & Safety measures that we would ask you to follow on the day.
As the candidates have now moved schools we are not in a position to distribute these & you will need to collect your invitation on Wednesday 8th September from 5-6pm at the Parish Bungalow, 41 Grangemore Grove.
We understand that this is a tight timeline and appreciate your understanding during this exceptionally busy time. The invitation can be collected by you, the candidate, a family member or friend: all they need to know is the name of the school & teacher.
Note: we would ask that you don’t collect on behalf of someone else without their permission, just to avoid any panic or confusion.
Kind regards,
Fr Gerry

Archbishop Farrell is asking for people and priests to pray for vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life on a regular basis. As you are well aware, the need is great, so let’s answer God’s call and “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into his harvest”.

Pope Francis has proclaimed a ‘World Day of Prayer for Grandparents and the Elderly’ which will take place for the first time this year on Sunday 25th July 2021.
“Grandparents and the elderly are often overlooked but this new day in the Universal Church calendar is a momentous achievement for grandparents and the elderly and will hopefully reassure them that they are loved and that they are needed. It is refreshing also to note the renewed commitment by the Church for the Pastoral Care of the elderly, a group of people who have suffered greatly during the Covid-19 pandemic due to being isolated from family, from their faith and from many of their daily supports.”
“I firmly believe that grandparents and the elderly are needed now more than ever, not just as teachers of the faith, but as fountains of wisdom and sensibility – qualities which our world needs these days.” (Pope Francis)
Prayer for Grandparents
Lord Jesus, you were born of the Virgin Mary,
the daughter of Sts. Joachim and Anne.
Look with love on grandparents the world over.
Protect them! They are a source of enrichment for families,
for the Church and for all of society.
Support them! As they grow older,
may they continue to be for their families
strong pillars of Gospel faith,
guardians of noble domestic ideals,
living treasuries of sound religious traditions.
Make them teachers of wisdom and courage,
that they may pass on to future generations
the fruits of their mature human and spiritual experience.
AMEN
