Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest, 

and in our souls take up Thy rest;

come with Thy grace and heavenly aid

to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

May is traditionally dedicated to Mary, Mother of God. During this month we honour Mary and seek her prayers for the world and for peace.

Day of Prayer for Vocations

Remember with thanks those whose lives

have given you your faith in God.

Lord, thanks for what I can do in your service.

May your kingdom come!

Confirmation is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit leading them, throughout their lives, to become “more like Christ”. It thus binds them more firmly to Christ and to the Church as it awakens in their hearts the gifts of the Holy Spirit.                                                                                          Catholic Bishops of Ireland

Hope of new beginnings. 

In Jesus life the pain and suffering of the Cross led directly to the Resurrection and to a new and ‘glorified’ life of hope and joy.
