St Michael's College, First Holy Communion, Saturday 6 May 2017 at 12 noon
We congratulate students of St Michael's College who made their First Holy Communion in Our Lady Queen of Peace on Saturday 6 May 2017. More photos here.
We invite them to reflect on these words of Pope Francis to a group of first communicants on 26 May 2013
What does Jesus do when he walks with us? Louder! First: he helps us. He leads us! Very good. He walks with us, he helps us, he leads us and he teaches us to journey on. [...]

Pope Francis' Prayer to the Holy Family
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
in you we contemplate
the splendor of true love;
to you we turn with trust.
Holy Family of Nazareth,
grant that our families too
may be places of communion and prayer,
authentic schools of the Gospel
and small domestic churches.
Holy Family of Nazareth,
may families never again experience
violence, rejection and division;
may all who have been hurt or scandalized
find ready comfort and healing.
Holy Family of Nazareth,
make us once more mindful
of the sacredness and inviolability of the family,
and its beauty in God’s plan.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
graciously hear our prayer.
Amen.

€12,480 raised in 2016 Christmas Appeal for Parish Outreach Project: Queen of Peace Primary School for Girls, Lodwar, Kenya
Once again, our parishioners, with a donation of €12,480, have responded very generously, as in the past, to our annual Christmas Appeal in support of Queen of Peace Primary School for Girls, our parish outreach project in Lodwar, Kenya. (See school Facebook page here).
The photo on the right shows Fr Fergus with Bishop Dominic in Nairobi in August 2016, giving him our summer contribution of €5,290.
Total donations from our parish since 2011 amount to €81,220.
Last year, a total of €15,996 was donated (in the summer and Christmas of 2015).
During his visit to Lodwar in July 2015 Fr Fergus celebrated Mass for the students and staff of the school in the new multi-purpose dining hall. The liturgy was enhanced by the beautiful singing of the choir. Afterwards there was some poetry and singing to entertain the visitor, which among other things illustrated the talent of the girls and highlighted their dreams for the future.
It was a joy to see how much has been achieved already and to be able to assist in the ongoing development of this wonderful project.
Our initial donation was in fact the catalyst for launching the construction of the school.
Fr Fergus stayed with Bishop 
Dominic and also met Fr John O'Callaghan, a Kiltegan missionary from Kilmallock, who has been very involved in the execution of the project and Mr Tony Woods, from Doon, the diocesan administrator.
In 2014 our Christmas Appeal raised €10,539.
