FRANKFIELD/GRANGE CHILDREN’S ROSARY: The Children’s Rosary Group will have their monthly Rosary on Saturday 13th April at 6pm in front of Our Lady’s Shrine in Church of the Incarnation Frankfield. All children and teenagers are most welcome to attend, including children from outside the parish. Please encourage young people you know to attend. Students from Coláiste Chríost Rí who participate in Student Rosary were recently surveyed on their experience of praying the Rosary. Many students said the Rosary has brought them closer to God. The following is just a sample of their responses; “what I like most about the Rosary is the presence of the Lord”, “the Rosary helps you to get closer to God and if you open your heart to God the peace you will experience is amazing”, “since I have started saying the Rosary I have gotten so much closer to Jesus”, “I think Rosary group can help with effort and results in school because it can destress and calm someone and that can really help”.

I attended mass at 4pm on Christmas Eve and I just wanted to thank everyone, who was involved. The singing, the flowers in the church, the crib and the entire mass was absolutely beautiful. Thank you, it was magnificent. Wishing you all a happy and peaceful New Year.
My best wishes, Valerie
