The Laudato Si’ Animators Program is a flagship formation initiative of the Laudato Si’ Movement (LSM). It equips people of faith and goodwill to respond to today’s ecological crisis through personal ecological conversion, action and advocacy, rooted in the encyclical Laudato Si’. This free online program deepens participants’ understanding of ecological and social realities through the lens of faith, spirituality and integral ecology, while offering practical tools to lead concrete creation care efforts in their communities. It is a deeply nourishing course and participants will be part of a national Laudato Si’ Network, supported by Trócaire, afterwards.
Let’s bring Laudato Si’ to life, together and care more deeply for God’s Creation!
Begins: April 15th and every week for 4 weeks (meetings are recorded if you can't make the particular time)
“Soil, water, mountains, everything is as it were, a caress of God!” (Laudato Si’, 84).

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.
