Dear parishioners,
It’sgreat to be back after a little break.
The All Things New retreat for young adults at Gonzaga College was very lively and fruitful. To have 40 people was fantastic,especially for our first outing. The feedback was very positive and we hope it will be an annual event DV.
Br Eamonn Davis SJ passed away peacefully on Friday afternoon. He was such a warm and generous man and a great servant to the students of Belvedere College SJ. His funeral will be in this church, most likely on Tuesday morning at 11 am. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
Every blessing,
Fr Niall
