Word of Thanks

St. Johns Youth & Family Ministry would like to thank all Confirmation & Holy Communion candidates, their families and teachers for all their efforts over the past few months in getting the various programmes and special masses up and running.  Thanks in a special way to all those who have volunteered in any way, may God reward your generosity.  Our next mass with Confirmation candidates is scheduled for Sunday 19th January.

Youth Volunteers

St. Johns are currently recruiting Youth Volunteers to assist us with the 10.30am Sunday Mass and also with celebrating events relating to our 150 Jubilee Year.  Training and support will be provided and this is a great opportunity to get involved with your parish at this very significant time in our History.  We are recruiting students who have entered the Senior Cycle in Secondary School (TY and beyond).  If you know of anybody who might be interested they can email paddy at This email address is being protected from spambots.

St. John's Christmas Cards

A sincere thanks to everyone who entered our Christmas Card design project. The six entries chosen are artistic designs by the following: Claudia Crowley, Isabelle Curran, Candy Fitzgerald, Eoin Griffin, Caoilinn Kenny O’Sullivan and Allen Ybanez. All entries received will be on display at the back of St. John’s Church at Masses next weekend. Parish Christmas Cards illustrating the designs chosen will also be available to purchase at the Church porch next  weekend and available at the Parish Centre from Monday.

Reconciliation Window

Stained Glass Windows in

St. John’s Church

John Griffin

Stained glass is often referred to as the poor man’s Bible as it was used from the Early Middle Ages to illustrate scriptural stories and the lives of the saints to largely uneducated congregations. Interestingly, at least sixty-five fragments of glass, including some painted medieval pieces, were found during the excavations in Ardfert Cathedral in the 1990s.   In more recent times, stained glass is viewed as a spectacular art form to enlighten, inspire, console and instruct those who look upon them.

Thought for the week

Our Christian faith is a most wonderful gift. It has been shared generously and nurtured by many people who have walked the pathway of life with us. Like God's love for us, faith knows no limits or no boundaries. It is what strengthens trembling and weary hands and what empowers the heart that wavers. As people of God, let us be joyful that we know him and that he is part of our life. Let us give thanks each day for his love and his compassion. In this time of waiting during advent we promise to take a little time to acknowledge and celebrate being a child of God and all that this means.... Margaret Theresa Naughton
