Anam Cara flyer 25.pdfMen’s RITEs of Passage
Nowadays, the question of what it means to be a man can be perplexing, and to be a man of faith in Ireland today can be very difficult. Most men have a longing for the support and guidance of other men in their journey towards masculinity, maturity, and a deeper experience with the divine. Living a shallow unexamined life is an empty experience. Opening the door to this journey can start with the Men’s Rites of Passage (MROP), a five-day deeply spiritual experience that builds on the classic patterns of male initiation through profound rituals and teachings. It is the kind of experience that can help awaken men to the adventure and mystery of their own masculinity, their potential for leadership, and their life’s purpose.
Join with other men on this journey in Kiltegan, Co Wicklow,
23rd - 27th July 2025. For more information, go to https://www.malesireland.ie/rites-2/ or phone 086-2326988 or email Chris at RITEs2025Applications@malesireland.ie
FIRHOUSE SINGERS SUMMER CONCERT
at ST. ANNE’S CHURCH MAY 28TH 7.30pm.
We welcome the Firhouse Singers to our church on May 28th at 7.30pm for a summer concert. Entry is free but there is a voluntary contribution on the night in aid of the Hope Foundation Kolkata – a charity dedicated to promoting the protection of street-dwelling and slum-connected children in Kolkata, some of the most underprivileged in India, as well as their families and communities.
Please come along and enjoy a wonderful evening of music and song as well as supporting this life- changing charity.
PLANNED GIVING APPEAL
New boxes of Planned Giving envelopes are now available for anyone who has already contributed in this manner. If you have not previously contributed to the parish we now appeal to your generosity. We rely solely on contributions from parishioners for the day to day expenses and bills in the parish. Money put into the baskets collected during Mass does not stay in the parish but goes directly to the Diocese and is used for payment of priests’ wages, looking after sick and retired priests and supporting parishes in need.
If you are in a position to contribute, however little, we would greatly appreciate your help. A donation of €5 per week (the price of a nice coffee!) equates to €260 per year, enabling us to also claim a tax refund effectively increasing your contribution. To reduce bank fees charged for lodgements etc. our preferred method of payment would be standing order, however boxes of envelopes are also available. Please contact the parish offices for further information on 4141838 Holy Rosary or 4626893 St Anne’s.

A set of keys were left in Holy Rosary Church on a Sunday morning in early April. There was also a navy jacket left behind on Easter Sunday. Both can be collected from the Sacristy after mass, or by contacting the parish office.

CHURCH UPKEEP
We are looking for volunteers please. If you can spare an hour on a Tuesday morning to help clean and maintain Holy Rosary Church we would love to hear from you. At the moment we have two wonderful ladies who clean the Church every Tuesday morning and keep it to the high standard we’ve all become used to. Unfortunately due to other commitments one now won’t be available, so we are seeking more help please. If you can spare an hour (or even half an hour!) please contact Deborah in the Parish Office or come along on Tuesday morning.

Sr Colette Kane OP

As Programme Director she also develops shorter duration courses, retreats, talks, and workshops related to ecology, cosmology, sustainable living and organic food.

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.

150th Anniversary Book
St. Anne's Church
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.
We, the people of God in Bohernabreena Parish, who worship in St Anne's and Holy Rosary, guided by the Holy Spirit and inspired by the love of Jesus Christ, are committed to creating a caring, welcoming community where there is justice for all.
