Our man in Lourdes……
Above, Fr. Philip Curran in the procession for the International Mass in Lourdes, on Tuesday last.
He looks like he has the makings of a Cardinal in that vivid red!
Newsflash! We have just learned that Fr. Philip will be the new Parish Priest of the Celbridge / Straffan Parish – the largest parish in the diocese. He takes up his new appointment in July, when we in Lucan / Esker / Dodsboro will get to meet our new Parish Priest, Fr. Bill O’Shaughnessy, coming from Springfield, Tallaght.
More anon………..

St Mary’s Parish Divine Mercy Devotion:
At every holy Mass, during the consecration we hear the words:
“Take this all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my Blood, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in memory of Me”
Similarly, in the Chaplet to the Divine Mercy in praying to God the Father, we “offer the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ in atonement for our sins and the sins of the whole world”
It is on the basis of Jesus’ own sacrificial offering, made present at every Mass, that we ask God to pour out His mercy on us, and on the whole world.
Every Wednesday morning, during exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, in St. Mary’s parish church after the 10am Mass and until 11am (unless there is a funeral), the Chaplet to the Divine Mercy is prayed.
