Novena & Centenary

 

The nine days of the Novena and the Centenary Celebration have been a wonderful time for us all.  On the whole, the Novena went very well and we are grateful to the Redemptorist priests and to  Muireann Ryan  for all their work.  There was a lot of involvement and help from several groups and indivudals during the Novena.  We would like to express our appreciation and thanks to all who helped.

The launch of ‘Through Fagan’s Gates’ , the blessing of the Mosaic to Our Lady, the Centenary Mass on Sunday evening, and the party afterwards all went well.  Several people have commented on how good it was to see the priests who had worked here in the past back for the occasion.  We congratulate Sr. Margo on the publication of the Centenary Mass which she   composed to commerorate the 100th Anniversary of the opening of our Church.  Again to all who attended the Novena and Centenary Mass and to all who were involved and helped in any way to make it all a success, our grateful thanks.
