Springtime Prayer

-

For flowers that bloom about our feet,

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet,

For song of bird, and hum of bee,

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

-

For blue of stream and blue of sky,

For pleasant shade of branches high,

For fragrant air and cooling breeze,

For beauty of the blooming trees,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

We welcome and support the children of our parish preparing to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion. The next “DTIM” Mass will take place on Palm Sunday 14 April at 12noon in Christ the King Church.

DTIM Parents Comments

“The DTIM programme has been great in helping me prepare my son for First Holy Communion. Andrew looks forward to Mass each week, especially the DTIM Mass as all the Yr4 children are so involved that it make them feel special. I could not even have begun to prepare Andrew for his First Holy Communion without the amazing work that Margaret, Mary and Nuala do through the pastoral programme. Andrew looks forward to his class every week and enjoys the activities from his books and learning his prayers at home. Many thanks to everyone involved in making the preparation for the sacrament of First Communion so special for Andrew and all the Yr4 children.” Joanne Eannetta, Cappagh Pastoral Programme

Prayer, Fasting & Almsgiving

Fasting is a tradition which we preserve now on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Meat production contributes almost 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. The Derry Diocesan Laudato Si Group ask that you might consider abstinence from meat on Fridays in Lent as a Lenten practice and a sign of Christian concern for our fragile and endangered world.
