Confirmation Ceremony
Will be held in Gortnahoe Church on Friday, Feb 28th at 11.00am. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of his control, Archbishop Kieran cannot attend on the day. On his behalf, Fr. Walton PP has been delegated to confirm the children this year. Congratulations to all the confirmation children on their preparations for the sacrament during the past week by means of the ‘Ceremony of Light’ last Wednesday night in Glengoole Church and their retreat held last Friday in Holy Cross Abbey. Please continue to keep them in your prayers over the coming three weeks as they continue their preparations for this important milestone in their spiritual lives.
White Envelope Collections
A reminder that payment by cheque for any white envelope collection throughout the year must be made out to “Gortnahoe Parish a/c”.
Visitation of the Sick
An essential part of every priest’s duty and ministry is to visit those who are sick in his parish, whether in their homes or they are in hospital. As stated on previous occasions, if you have a family member who is sick, in hospital or in nursing care anywhere, please let Fr. Walton know so that he may visit them and to administer the sacraments if and when required. Also if there are any elderly or housebound who would like to receive Holy Communion, please let him know so that he can add them to his monthly visitation list.

The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled i
n our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us into tireless
cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within
both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation of a new
heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread the joy
and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever. Amen.
