Parish News: Speaking of Church Grounds, this week we can say that due to the generous permission of the Malone family of Enniskerry Montessori school - to permit use of the gate from the Church Grounds, which opens onto their property - to parents exiting from Church Grounds having dropped off children - will provide a great opportunit­y to improve the School Traffic situation. As you know, we already happily share the use of the Church Grounds with the parents of children who attend our adjoining parish school by providing the Church Grounds as a safe dropping off and picking up area for the children - and a parking space for school staff. We hope that this new gate facility will help greatly to accommodat­e the safe movement of traffic.

Parish Financial Update: The Parish Finance Committee is pleased to report that, thanks to the great generosity of parishione­rs who have supported the parish through donations and fund raising events, the parish's finances are significan­tly improved since last year's report. A detailed letter and financial statement from the committee is available at the back of the church and you are encouraged to take one home with you.
