Calary Parish

Tomorrow is Trinity Sunday and we have All Age Family Services in Calary Church at 9.30am, St. Matthew's Church at 10.45am and in Newcastle Church at 12pm.

In Newcastle we will be joined by Millie and some of her classmates from Temple Carrig, who will tell us about their recent trip to Uganda with Fields of Life. A charity that does amazing work in East Africa and one that we are honoured to support as a parish.

Our collection will be for Fields of Life.

We look forward to hearing about their experiences!

Please come and support them and Fields of Life in the great work they do to give so many young people hope, love and opportunities.

We will have refreshments after each service, please do stay for a cuppa and a chat, if you can!

God bless, Ross

On Sunday, May 17th, we had an uplifting confirmation service in Newcastle Church when 12 of our confirmation candidates from our parishes were confirmed by the Most Rev'd Dr Michael Jackson, Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glendalough.

A huge thank you to the wonderful young people who were confirmed! They were fantastic throughout our preparation and on the day!

Many thanks also to the Archbishop, to Caroline our lay minister, to Sheila our organist, to all who decorated and prepared the church and grounds so beautifully and to everyone who came to support Emily, Senen, Theo, Gabriel, Holly, Reuben, Daisy, Patrick, Elliott, Mason, Ava and Donncha on their very special day!

We also look forward to Georgie’s confirmation, next Sunday, in Christchurch Church Cathedral, Dublin.

In the Archbishop's address he spoke of the candidates reaffirming the promises made on their behalf at Baptism and that to do so between Ascension Thursday and Pentecost was a poignant time. He said that we, like the disciples, can sometimes feel lost or left behind but that we must remember that Jesus is always with us. The Archbishop reminded us of how important it is to gather together, to support each other as a community of faith.

We continue to keep all those confirmed in our prayers and we endeavour to walk with them and encourage them as they continue their life long journey of faith. 🕊️
God bless,
Ross
