Date/Time Event Description
22/05/2022
8:30 am - 9:00 am
8.30 Holy Communion
St Thomas’ Church, Mount Merrion Co. Dublin

This is a short service of Holy Communion.  There is no music at it but many like it because it is a smaller congregation and therefore more intimate.  

  • We will continue to administer Holy Communion using the individual cups and little wooden blocks.
  • We ask that people would sanitise their hands on entering the churches.
  • The seating plans will no longer be in place but we ask that people would use all the space in both churches and respect that some people may need more space than others in order to feel comfortable.   The North Transept in St Philip and St James’ Church will be an area where people who wish to socially distance, may sit and be socially distanced from others.
  • Whilst mask wearing is no longer mandated, people may feel more comfortable wearing a mask and especially for singing, which we really appreciate being able to do again.

Order of Service: Animal Service 2022 PDF

Each year, on the fourth Sunday of May, at our united service, we have a Blessing of the Animals! It is a very enthusiastic service with all sorts of animals… dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, budgies, hens, etc., at the service… as well as their owners!!!

The usual plea to the owners applies! Please keep your wonderful creature(s) under control! Birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. to be kept in cages, out of the way of cats, and cats and rabbits to be kept in cages, out of the way of dogs, and dogs to be kept on a leash at all times! We don’t want any unplanned and tragic eating episodes!!! Pooper scooper rules apply too! All sorts of animals are welcome. And if you don’t have an animal, but you want to bring your toy animal, well, that’s just fine too!
