Towards Peace:
This is a spiritual support service designed for those who have experienced sexual, physical, emotional or spiritual abuse by Catholic Church personnel in Ireland. Support is also available for family members of abuse survivors. The vision of Towards Peace is to provide a safe supportive space, where people who have been affected by abuse in a Church context can be accompanied as they seek their own experience of spiritual peace, one step at a time. Towards Peace provides spiritual support through one-to-one spiritual direction sessions, with a qualified spiritual companion. Up to nine sessions are offered and there is no cost. For more information, please visit phone 01 505 3028 or email .
Baptismal Font:
Our parish Baptismal Font is now in a new location. It is now situated near the organ. This means that it can be used again for christening ceremonies and it gives much needed space for daily Mass in the crying room.

We have a plan in place to remove all but one of the steps in front of the tabernacle. This involves lowering the height of the tabernacle. In its new position it can still be seen from the pews.
