Gospel ChoirSincere thanks to the Gospel Choir for joining us as part of the 7:30pm Saturday evening Mass. Your presence and generosity is appreciated.

ReflectionThe storm at sea offers the perfect metaphor for expressing our doubts about faith. The power of nature can leave us feeling utterly insignificant; we are left powerless and totally at the mercy of the elements. So too life can appear incredibly difficult because of illness, bereavement, broken relationships and shattered dreams. At times, the image of sailing in a small boat, on a dark night, into the eye of a storm, perfectly describes how we are. At such times Jesus invites us to trust and it is only by doing it that we learn how.

CADRA - InvitationWill host an exhibition of Art Work by all of the pupils in Scoil Naomh Éanna. The work is based on” Keeping Carraroe Clean and Tidy”.
