Easter Message from Father Brendan Firstly a very Happy Easter to you all. On this centenary of 1916 we share the spiritual aspirations of the signatories on that day who began with: "Irishmen and Irishwoman: In the name of God and of the dead generations.." and concluded with: "We place the cause of the Irish Republic under the protection of the Most High God, Whose blessing we invoke...." May Easter revive and refresh our commitment to our country and our faith and may we be prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to carry our country into its second century. As always thanks for all the help, work and support here in our parish, particularly during the Easter ceremonies and in the preparing of the church for this weekend and in a personal capacity for all the prayers and Masses you've sent my families direction in the past few weeks, we are very grateful. May the Easter message of hope and new life - help all who are in mourning as our proclamation said - "for the dead generations". May they all rest in peace and rise with Jesus into Glory.
