VENERATION OF THE CROSS
As recommended by our Diocesan Liturgy Committee on Good Friday we will be placing a Cross on the Altar after our ceremonies in Millstreet & Cullen and inviting you to come forward and bow or genuflect in front of it and make a sign of the cross. This is a precaution due to the present situation with COVID19 and in an effort to keep our parishioners safe.
THOUGHT FOR HOLY WEEK FROM POPE FRANCIS
Fast from hurting words and say kind words; fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude; fast from anger and be filled with patience; fast from pessimism and be filled with hope; fast from worries and have trust in God. Fast from complaints, contemplate simplicity; fast from pressures and be prayerful; fast from bitterness, fill your hearts with joy; fast from selfishness and be compassionate; fast from grudges and be reconciled; fast from words be silent and listen.
