Reflection...

Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, Pray for UsThe coming exams undoubtedly seem like a challenge, and with every challenge in life come fear, uncertainty, self-doubt. But the Word of God invites you to see the coming challenge as an opportunity to discover the peace of mind and heart that only God can give.

The peace of mind and heart that comes from knowing that your value in life does not come from exam results and points but from your ability to love and be loved.

The peace that comes from knowing that the coming exams are a step on a journey, a journey that will lead you to discover your vocation in life, the path that God is calling you to walk and on which you will find your meaning and purpose in life. The knowledge you have acquired, and on which you will be tested, is a gift that will bear fruit in ways that you can’t yet even begin to imagine.

The peace of mind and heart that comes from knowing that you are sustained by the love and prayers of family and friends and even parishioners whom you do not know but who carry you in their prayer at this time.

Child Protection - May 2010

Click to enlarge image

The revised Child Protection Policy and Procedures for the Diocese of Meath was launched in our parish on Thursday 2oth May. The manual has been produced following consultations with the HSE and the National Board for Safeguarding Children. It describes what is expected at parish level to ensure that children are safe at all times while taking part in Church activities and how volunteers can be supported. It also outlines the Diocesan Structures for responding to concerns and complaints.
