Feast Days – 7^th July – St. Maelruain St. Maelruain was an Irish saint who lived in the 8th century. He founded a monastery in Tallaght, near Dublin, and is known for leading a monastic reform movement called Céilí Dé. Maelruain emphasized a strict, disciplined life for monks, focusing on prayer, manual labour and avoiding worldly pleasures. He died in 792. 8th July – St. Kilian St Kilian was born in the parish of Mullagh in the diocese of Kilmore. With eleven companions he left Ireland and became known as the apostle of Thuringia and eastern Franconia. With Kolonat and Totnan he was put to death in 689. There is a very strong devotion to him in Wurzburg, where his remains lie, and also, throughout the Bavarian countryside.

Dear St. Kilian, I come to you today seeking your guidance and intercession. You were a brave and faithful missionary who dedicated your life to spreading the Gospel and converting others to Christianity. I ask for your help in living a life that is true to my faith and in sharing the love of Jesus with those around me. Please pray for me and for all those who seek your intercession, that we may find the strength and courage to persevere in living a holy and faithful life. May your example inspire us to follow in your footsteps and to be bold in sharing our faith with others. Thank you, St. Kilian, for your constant love and support. May I always honour and serve you with a heart full of gratitude. Amen.

A Prayer for our Parish Heavenly Father, Bless our Church and our parish, And all the good work that goes on in them. May all who are Christians live and work together for the good of each other and the glory of your Name. May those who do not know you be brought by our example to a loving knowledge and peace with you.  Amen

Pilgrimage for the Jubilee year 2025. Pilgrimage is an important component of a Jubilee year. Many travel abroad for pilgrimage, but a pilgrimage can also take place with the abundant Christian locations we have within our own Diocese. An exhibition ‘Pockets of Hope’ has been set up in the four Jubilee Churches in our Archdiocese: -St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral,  Marlborough Street. -Our Lady of Lourdes, Sean McDermott Street. -Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, City Quay. -St. Andrew’s Church, Westland Row. There is a further display in St. Kevin’s Parish Church, Glendalough.

The Jubilee Prayer Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom. May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally. May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally

There will be a pilgrimage to Knock on Sun July 13th departing at 7.30am from the Blessington church carpark. The pilgrimage will include meditation anointing of the sick, Confession and mass at 3pm. For further details contact 086 1609293.

A Summer Prayer Long warm days… The pace of life slows… A time for picnics and rest in the shade… Lord, help me to rest awhile in the cooling shade of your presence. Slow down my restless heart and fill me with gentle compassion for all your people. Amen.

Popes Intentions for July 2025 For information in Discernment Let us pray that we might again learn low to discern, to know how to choose paths of life and reject everything that leads us away from Christ and the Gospel.

Feast Days – 24^th June – The Nativity of John the Baptist . The Nativity of St. John the Baptist,  celebrated on June 24, commemorates the birth of Jesus’s cousin, John the Baptist. John was born to Zechariah and Elizabeth, who were very old and believed to be unable to have children. The angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah, telling him that Elizabeth would conceive a son and name him John. Zechariah doubted the angel’s words and was unable to speak until John’s birth. John was a special figure in Christian tradition, preparing the way for Jesus and baptizing him in the Jordan River. His birth, like Jesus’, was miraculous, announced to his parents Zechariah and Elizabeth by an angel.

A Message from Archbishop Farrell about the Summer Dues initiative

Our readings at Mass today focus, for Corpus Christi, on Priesthood and the Eucharist. The people following Jesus were tired and hungry (Luke 9:11-17). Theywere in need of nourishment and healing, at every level. ‘Give them something to eat yourselves’, Jesus says provocatively to the Twelve, but they were at a loss. They had very little, just five loaves and two fish. The miracle recounted is that from what little they had, Jesus made so much. The call to ministry and to participation in the Eucharist is central to the life and wellbeing of the Christian community. We are grateful for our priests and for the service they offer. From what each one has, they pass on all we have ‘received from the Lord’ (1 Corinthians 11:23), and bring his healing presence and love alive. Gathered around Christ, and through the gift of his Spirit, each parish and partnership of parishes is called to mission. Please support your priests through the Summer Dues appeal. The generosity that you have towards your priests is indispensable. Please play your part, too, in a renewed and active involvement of all parishioners as together we nourish and support each other, counting the wonderful blessings of God in our lives.

Tax on Donation Scheme. The generosity that people show towards their priests is very reassuring. Your contributions can go further without any additional cost to you thanks to the tax relief available on charitable donations. With your help the parish can claim a tax refund from Revenue up to the value of 45% of your identifiable contributions amounting to €250 or more in any given year. Please use the envelope provided, giving your details so that the parish can contact you, to help process the tax rebate from Revenue. The parish can reclaim the tax no matter whether you are PAYE or Self-Assessed. This tax rebate from Revenue is now an important source of income for the parish.

There will be a pilgrimage to Knock on Sun July 13th departing at 7.30am from the Blessington church carpark. The pilgrimage will include meditation anointing of the sick, Confession and mass at 3pm. For further details contact 086 1609293.

Thought of the Week A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour.

CARE OF THE EARTH Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.

A Summer Prayer Long warm days… The pace of life slows… A time for picnics and rest in the shade… Lord, help me to rest awhile in the cooling shade of your presence. Slow down my restless heart and fill me with gentle compassion for all your people. Amen.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally. May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever. Amen

The apparitions took place on the 13th of each month from May to October 1917. She urged all, to pray constantly for the conversion of sinners. Before he became Pope Benedict XVI, then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger said that the central message of Fatima is what the Church has always taught: prayer, penance, and conversion. 16^th May – St Brendan. St Brendan was a Kerryman who was born in 486. He studied at Clonard under Finnian. His name is connected with many places in Kerry such as Ardfert and Mount Brandon. He visited Scotland and reached the Hebrides and possibly areas beyond. Brendan the Navigator is known as the patron saint of sailors and the United States Navy. He is the patron of those who are afraid because he himself was fearless in setting out into uncharted water and in uncertain circumstances. He founded a monastery in Clonfert in 568 and died there in 578.

Christ of the mysteries, I trust You to be stronger than each storm within me. I will trust in the darkness and know that my times, even now, are in Your hand. Tune my spirit to the music of heaven, and somehow, make my obedience count for You.” Amen

A Prayer for our Parish Heavenly Father, Bless our Church and our parish, And all the good work that goes on in them.

May those who do not know you be brought by our example to a loving knowledge and peace with you.  Amen

Pilgrimage for the Jubilee year 2025. Pilgrimage is an important component of a Jubilee year. Many travel abroad for pilgrimage, but a pilgrimage can also take place with the abundant Christian locations we have within our own Diocese. An exhibition ‘Pockets of Hope’ has been set up in the four Jubilee Churches in our Archdiocese: -St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral,  Marlborough Street. -Our Lady of Lourdes, Sean McDermott Street. -Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, City Quay. -St. Andrew’s Church, Westland Row. There is a further display in St. Kevin’s Parish Church, Glendalough.

The Jubilee Prayer Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom. May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally. May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever. Amen

Thought of the Week We hand over our worries to God and he hands over his blessings to us.

CARE OF THE EARTH Use rechargeable batteries Batteries are extremely dangerous for the environment and, unfortunately, only a fraction of these batteries gets to be recycled. The rest is thrown away, becoming a hazardous enemy of the environment. Two or three sets of rechargeable batteries along with a charger would prevent this from happening. The initial investment will definitely pay off shortly.
