It’s hard to believe that on 1st March it is a full year since myself and the family arrived in the United Parishes of Powerscourt with Kilbride and I unlocked the vestry door for the first 8:30am service in Powerscourt. These past 12 months have been a busy time with much to learn and remember and there have been challenges with this of various shapes and sizes. I want to thank you for your patience with the changes that will naturally occur these days and for the continuous warmth of welcome received by all of us here in the Rectory. The other side of this is that I feel as if I am really beginning to get to know people now. I am aware that, in all of the information given and routines to be established and maintained over the past year and, taking into account that we are three priests down to one, I may not have got to visit everyone in the parish as yet. I would use this opportunity to ask that, if you would like a visit please call or drop me a text and I will be sure to come and see you.
Being not only pastor here but Chairperson of the Board of Management in the School gives a unique and more holistic view of the Parish and exciting plans are already in place for this coming year which will deliberately strengthen links between the Parish and School. We have incredible groups of people in both of our churches and our school and I sincerely encourage you to come together and take part in the various events and gatherings in the coming year. Our sincere thanks again to you all.
