CELEBRATING 250 YEARS at ST. JAMES
There will only be one Mass celebrated in the Parish next
weekend at 6pm on Sunday evening in St. James’ Church,
Grange. This Mass will be celebrated by Cardinal Brady
and Dr. Mary McAleese will speak. This marks the beginning of
a special week of celebrations to which all parishioners are invited.
It is an opportunity for us to honour the faith of past generations and
to celebrate the promise of Christ, ’I will be with you always until the end of time’.

Celebratory Meal
It is essential that parishioners return the reply card and it is important
to put your name on the reply card. On receipt
of these cards, tickets for the meal will be issued and no-one
will be admitted to the function without a ticket. It would help
the organising Committee greatly if all reply cards were
returned immediately.
Today Sunday 14th October is the last day for returning reply cards.

A BLESSING OF ANGELS
May the Angels in their beauty bless you.
May they turn towards you streams of blessing.

May the Angel of Awakening stir your heart
To come alive to the eternal within you,
To all the invitations that quietly surround you.

May the Angel of Healing turn your wounds
Into sources of refreshment.

May the Angel of the Imagination enable you
To stand on the true thresholds;
At ease with your ambivalence
And drawn in new directions
Through the glow of your contradictions.

May the Angels of Compassion open your eyes
To the unseen suffering around you.

May the Angel of Wildness disturb the places
Where your life is domesticated and safe,
Take you to the territories of true otherness
Where all that is awkward in you
Can fall into its own rhythm.

Parish Dead List

Eternal rest grant on to them,
O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them.
May they rest in peace.
May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
