VOCATIONS SUNDAY:
Good Shepherd Sunday
– Vocations Sunday, April 26
We give thanks that, in the Archdiocese of Dublin, there are currently three seminarians, along with others discerning a call to the priesthood this year. Let us keep them in our prayers, and also remember all those considering a vocation to the priesthood, religious life, lay ministry, or family life. If you know of someone who may be considering the priesthood, please encourage them to contact the vocations team: Fr Séamus at vocations@dublindiocese.ie or Fr Bill at bill.oshaughnessy@dublindiocese.ie.
Prayer for Vocations
God our Father, send workers into your harvest.
May the Spirit we received in baptism
Touch the hearts of many
To offer themselves in priesthood, religious life
And other forms of service.
Give the parents and families of our archdiocese
The wisdom and courage to support young people
In searching for and following the call of God in their lives.

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 or 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 by monthly standing order, please contact our parish offices for more information.

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.
