Mid-week Holy Communion
St Thomas’ Church, Mount Merrion Co. Dublin |
Every Wednesday we meet in St Thomas’ Church for a celebration of Holy Communion at 10.30, and we have a cup of tea or coffee afterwards. If there is a saint’s day or a holy day in the week, we observe it on the Wednesday and use Holy Communion Two. If there is no saint’s day or holy day, we use the readings from the previous Sunday and use Holy Communion One. Everyone is very welcome to this short, simple service. |

Confirmation Meeting | Our Rural Deanery has been given the date of Sunday 11th February 2018 for Confirmation and we will be hosting a confirmation service in St Philip and St James’ Church, time to be confirmed. There will be a meeting for all those enquiring about confirmation (and their parents) on Wednesday 4th October 2017 in the Canon Osborne Barr Room (front room) of St Philip and St James’ Parish Centre, at 8pm. As always, I ask those who are considering Confirmation (and their parents) to think carefully about it. I take Confirmation and the preparation for Confirmation seriously, and I think it is important that we as family members, and as a parish, encourage those who wish to be confirmed, to do so with integrity. If you are considering Confirmation, please think about the following:
Are you ready with your own mouth and from your own heart to affirm your faith in Jesus Christ? Do you believe and accept the Christian faith into which you are baptized? Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers? Will you persevere in resisting evil, and whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord? Will you proclaim by word and example the good news of God in Christ? Will you seek and serve Christ in all people, loving your neighbour as yourself?
Confirmation is an exciting time for those considering it, and for a parish or group of parishes. We, as a group of parishes, will support those preparing for Confirmation by our prayers and our encouragement.
