All Saints Party. Maynooth Parish invites you to our Mass on Friday the 1st of November at 10am in St Mary`s Church to celebrate the feast of All Saints. Join us in the pastoral centre after Mass for a cup of tea for the adults, treats and games for the children. Come dressed as your favourite saint and win a prize. Dress up ideas that you might already have at home: Our Lady, St Joseph, St Patrick, St Brigid, St Nicholas, St Joan of Arc.
Any boy or girl who has received their First Holy Communion is welcome to become an Altar Server in either the Church of St Mary or in Ladychapel. Prior to becoming an Altar Server, a short training programme takes place. The training programme aims to provide each child with the necessary skills to serve mass and other liturgical celebrations. The new altar servers serve for the first time during the Christmas season in our parish. If you are interested you can register on the parish website.
On Sunday next 3rd November there will be Prayers & Rosary at Laraghbryan Cemetery at 00 p.m. for those who are buried there and especially for those who died during the past year. All welcome to attend.
Copies of the Archbishop’s Synod Letter are available in the Porch. Please take a copy on your way out. It is also available on the Diocesan Website.
The Altar List of the Dead envelopes are available in the porches. You are invited to take one and place the names of all those of your family and friends who have died on to the Altar List of the Dead. All those whose names that are entered on the Altar List of the Dead will be prayed for at all the Masses during the month of November and on every First Friday for the coming year. When you have filled it in please return it in the Sunday collection basket, to the priests or the Parish Office.
