Time is getting short to complete preparations to welcome our parish guests from the LOM, Houston, Texas, who will be visiting most homes in our parish, on our behalf, in advance of the IEC week in the RDS, 2nd to 8th June. We wish to thank those parishioners, who so far, have volunteered their homes, and those who offered help with hospitality and transport during their two week stay, much appreciated. We know all our parishioners will give a warm Irish

50TH International Eucharistic Congress
"The Bishops of Ireland are deeply grateful for the donations given to the four National Collections which have been taken up since 2009 for the 50th International Eucharistic Congress.
Your support means that Ireland is able to extend a warm welcome to visitors to Dublin from Ireland as well as from all over the world for this very important event in the life of the Catholic Church in Ireland, which will take place from 10th to 17 June.
There are so many initiatives underway in parishes and communities throughout the Archdiocese of Dublin in preparation for this significant occasion, which has as its theme, The Eucharist - Communion with Christ and with one another. I wish to express my appreciation for these initiatives.
The Congress can be for the Church in Ireland a moment of renewal and I would ask you all to keep the event in your prayers.
If you would like to offer further financial support to the Congress, please give your donation to your local priest. Your generosity is deeply appreciated and it is the intention to publish the full financial details of the Congress in due course.
Diarmuid Martin
Archbishop of Dublin"
