We have our first meeting for parents of children preparing for 1st Reconciliation and 1st Communion next May.

As we see the Creator’s Hand once again in the changing of the seasons, let us pay a little more attention to those golden colours and seasonal produce in abundance around us and be thankful.

Let us gather together a record of those moments of Amazing Autumn Spenldour … from wherever you are in the world!

Capture that moment and share what you see with your faith community by sending images to communicationsgroup@greystonesparish.ie

Check out the lovely images there already and have a read of some of the prayers. Thank you.

CHARITY TAX REBATE: A big thank you for all who support the parish through the Planned Giving Collection. This is the only collection that stays in the parish. You can further support the parish by completing a CHY3 form. This permits the parish to claim the tax back on your donations to the parish. It is a simple process that can yield extra funds to support parish initiatives. Contact the parish office for further details. Thank You.

BECOMING A CATHOLIC?: Are you or someone you know interested in finding out more about the Christian Faith and the Catholic Church. If so please contact Fr. John after Mass or make enquiries to the Parish Office. We will begin our preparation for Adults wishing to be baptised or indeed make their 1st Communion or be Confirmed in the Catholic Faith at the Easter Vigil next Easter soon during the month of September.

To the dissatisfied, to those who have an unrecognized ache within them, God says this, ‘Oh, come to me!  All who thirst and hunger shall be filled. I can provide everything. Come, pay attention, listen. I am the source of life.

We are inviting all boys and girls who have made their Holy Communion to come and join our Altar Servers Team.

If there are any boys or girls aged 9 or over, who would like to become altar servers, please contact the parish office.
