The date for the pilgrimage is Saturday 25th April 2026. In order to proceed, we kindly request that you register you interest at your earliest convenience. Should sufficient interest be expressed, arrangements will be made to book a coach and confirm individual costs. If you wish to participate or require additional information, please contact the Parish Office 01-4510 160.
Easter dues envelopes are available at the back of both of our Churches. Donations made through the dues collections are paid directly to the Dublin Diocese to help support parish clergy, and sick and retired priests throughout the Diocese.
Prayer Requests can be put in the boxes in the church and will be prayed for at our cell prayer gathering on every second Monday at 8pm in Rosanna hall.

HOLY ROSARY CHURCH MAINTENANCE
We are hoping to arrange to have Holy Rosary Church painted over the summer months as it has not been re-done since the Church opened in 2009. We are currently arranging to have signs put up outside of the Church where parish details and information on upcoming events will be posted, and there are a couple of other maintenance tasks which need to be undertaken.
We would greatly appreciate any financial support you can give to these projects, so donation envelopes are available at the back of the Church for those who might like to make a one-off donation. These can be dropped in to the Parish Office or Sacristy at your convenience, and as always all information will be treated in the strictest confidence.
.
The new year for the Planned Giving/Family Contribution scheme in our parish started in March 2026. We appeal to any parishioners who may not have contributed to the planned giving in the past, but who may now be in a position to do so to consider a small regular donation to the Planned Giving. A donation of €5 per week equates to approximately €250 per year—this enables us to also avail of a tax refund on any Charitable Donations over €250 directly from Revenue, with no additional cost to the parishioners.
This weekly / monthly contribution is the ONLY income which stays in the parish to cover the cost of the day to day running of our Churches - maintenance and repairs of buildings, insurance, altar supplies, office supplies, candles, printing, salaries and the general operational costs of running the parish. The two collections taken up during mass, as well as any Dues envelopes, are paid directly to the Dublin Diocese and do not remain in the parish.
If you would like to contribute by weekly envelope, or monthly standing order, please contact our parish offices for more information.
Details of upcoming retreats below. If you would like more information, or would like to book a place on a retreat, please call us on 01 4048189 and we can take your booking over the phone.
Please feel free to share the information on our behalf with anyone you think might be interested in attending.
Please note that it is no longer possible to donate to St Anne's Church via this button. If you would like to make a donation to St Anne's Church, whether regularly or a once off donation, please contact the parish office or use the account details as per the standing order form (link below). We greatly appreciate all donations to our parish churches, and apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause.

Prayer Before Holy Communion
– St. Thomas Aquinas
All powerful and everlasting God,
I ask that I might receive,
the Bread of Angels,
the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords,
with that reverence and humility,
with that contrition and devotion,
with that purity and faith which
is expedient for the salvation of
my soul. Amen.
Prayer after Holy Communion
– St Thomas Aquinas
Sweetest Jesus,
Body and Blood most holy,
be the delight and pleasure of my soul,
my strength and salvation
in all temptations,
my joy and peace in every trial,
my light and guide in every
word and deed,
and my final protection
in death. Amen.

The St Anne’s Church Committee produced a wonderful book to commemorate this special year in our parish. It looks back on the history of St Anne’s, records the celebration events and also reflects on the future.
It contains lovely accounts, photos, drawings, poems by the children and many friends of St Anne’s and it is a truly valuable record of our community and heritage. Every household in the parish should have one. It only costs €10 and is available from the parish office at St Anne's Church.
