MILLSTREET ALTAR SOCIETY for 23^rd & 30^th May:  Group A 

Dear Parishioners,

I want to say thank you to each and everyone who attended our daily Masses and for your co-operation and patience as we continue to follow Government & Diocesan guidelines.

In correspondence from Bishop Ray during the week he has asked us to remain vigilant and that we remember these key issues:

• We must continue to implement social distancing.
• We must continue to ensure that the maximum number is not exceeded in our Churches.
• We must wear face coverings while in Church.
• We must sanitise as we enter and exit our Churches.
• Refrain from congregating outside the Church door.
• Reminder that the Sunday obligation remains suspended.
• Funeral & Wedding attendance is now 50 people in the Church.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has continued to support our Parish financially and for the continued support and encouragement you have given me during the past 14 months.  During the month of May we ask Our Blessed Mother to watch over and protect all of us………Fr. Fitzgerald 

TRÓCAIRE BOXES: We would ask any household who hasn’t returned their Trócaire Boxes to please do so during the coming week.  They can be dropped into our Parish Office.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it.

It’s not what you see, it’s how you look at it.

It’s not how your life is, it’s how you live it.
