Sharing the Story –
It is more than a hundred years since St Canice’s, (then just twenty-five years-old in 1914), began seeing some of its members going off to war.
We of the later generations have been presented daily with messages about the impact of that war and how the challenge was handled, through four striking windows in the transept of our church. These windows, installed around 1920,are in a notably beautiful area of St Canice’s, which today, creatively, carries relics of our own dead.
My involvement with the parish started out as extended family for our daughters, now I realise its actually extended family for me. Ignatian spirituality has been a powerful way to deepen my faith and threads my own Loreto experience (as student and parent) back to St Canices.

April 8 2018 2nd Sunday of Easter
I embrace the opportunity to live my faith guided by Ignatian principles; the great sense of welcome and friendship that I feel from others in the St Canice community; and a feeling that I am part of a parish that truly ‘lives the teachings of the gospels’.

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.
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.
