Parish Missions:        

Our present parish missions are about putting new heart into the disciple already present. Affirming and encouraging them to be witnesses to a broken world. They are also about outreach to those on the margins, and to those within the faith communities who are unsure of the road ahead.

Depending on the type of mission employed within the parish, the emphasis may rest more heavily on building up or outreach. One thing is certain,  however, the Holy Spirit works in a special way during a mission experience, touching people in a way that I believe no parish programme can.”

A Parish Mission is a time for Renewal, Growth,Celebration and Empowerment.

And a time to deepen faith, unite parish communities, share the Good News, reach out in the Spirit.

Fr Kieran Brady – Redemptorist Mission Coordinator

Requiescant in Pace

For our brothers who have gone to God before us, we thank the Lord for their lives and ministry and pray that they might truly know God's eternal presence and peace. May they rest in peace and rise in glory.

Eternal rest, grant unto them them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace!
Amen.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord;

Lord Hear my voice!

Let you ears be attentive

to the voice of pleading.

If you O Lord mark our guilt

Lord who would survive?

But with you is forgiveness

and for this we revere you.

I trust in the Lord;

My soul trusts in his word

My soul waits for the Lord

More than the watchman for daybreak

As the watchman awaits for the daybreak

Let Israel await for the Lord

For with the Lord is kindness

and with him is plentiful redemption;

And he will redeem Israel

from all their inquities.

PSALM 130
