Image and individual blessing with Relics of St Faustina
All are invited to come and especially on Divine Mercy Sunday as Jesus told St. Faustina that “On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day are open all the divine floodgates through which graces flow. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exits has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy.”
(Diary 139) A wonderful blessing from the Lord.
Living in Joyful Hope in the Catholic Faith
Some time ago a group of parishioners began a two year project studying the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The project was in response to Pope Benedict’s call to all Catholics to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the faith during the Year of the Faith.
In 2015 the group’s work and findings were summarised and published in a book for private circulation entitled “Waiting in Joyful Hope in the Catholic Faith”. This was made freely available to parishioners of St Mary’s parish.
Many found it informative and helpful, so in the year 2024 it was decided to formally publish an enhanced version and make it more widely available. The title of the book was changed to “Living in Joyful Hope in the Catholic Faith”.
The book is an easy to read summary of the Catholic faith, its origin, and its teachings and how it gives joyful meaning to life.
The book can be borrowed from Lucan, Clondalkin and some other public libraries or can be ordered online and on Kindle.
K. Carroll (leader of the project)
