My love of the First Spiritual Exercises, joy of creating and celebrating liturgy, passion for justice and need for community are all gifts that I would like to lay at the service of my Parish.
Good Friday Drama
An interactive Liturgy of the Word truly involved all present at the 3pm Service at St Canice’s this afternoon. Twelve parishioners assumed active roles in a dramatisation of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, with the whole congregation joining in the prayers reflecting issues of our everyday lives after each of the scenes.

Mary McAleese “The time is now for change in the Catholic Church”
Listen! This is a most enlightening talk by an eminent leader on the importance of the role of women in the Church. Mary McAleese grew up the eldest of nine children in a tumultuous time in Northern Ireland. Her family was forced to leave the area by Loyalists when The Troubles broke out. She was the first Irish President to come from Northern Ireland and the first woman to succeed another woman as the eighth President of Ireland from 1997 – 2011.
Who was Mary Magdalene?
Who was Mary Magdalene? What do we know about her? And how do we know it? These questions resurface with the release of a new movie, Mary Magdalene, starring Rooney Mara in the titular role.
The question of how we know about her is a relatively simple one. She appears in a number of early Christian texts associated with the ministry of Jesus.
LGBT Catholics – the Church is your home
LGBT Catholics, the church is your home. You are baptised. You are a member of the church. At your baptism, Jesus himself called you to be a member of the church. So don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise, or try and take that sacramental grace away from you.
God loves you. Never stop looking for a welcoming Catholic parish that affirms that God loves you. Never doubt your place in the church even if others can’t see it. You’re baptised. You are important to the church, especially as the church comes to know LGBT people more and more.
This video by Fr James Martin SJ invites you to listen to a few reflections that remind you of God’s love for you.
Learning our Voice
Unlike only a few decades ago, we now find ourselves in a culture that does not offer us the framework of support for what we have inherited and seek to develop. We can appreciate just how difficult it is, especially, for our young people to declare themselves as Christian, or as Catholic, as they seek to make their way into the world.
