On Saturday 22nd March we were delighted to open the doors of St Patrick\u2019s Church in Powerscourt to Rev. Rob Clements and 23 Confirmation Candidates and their families and friends from both Powerscourt with Kilbride and Kilternan Parish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The candidates were confirmed by the Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glendalough the Very Reverend Michael Jackson. Our sincere thanks to all those who stepped forward to prepare the church for this event including one of our two new teams of \u2018Dust Fairies\u2019 (you a group of mums from the school who have joined our church cleaning rota) and one family who, despite it being half term, turned up on Friday morning to clear the paths in the graveyard following the storms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We ask that you remember the following candidates in your prayers and look forward to seeing them this Sunday morning at 11:30 in St Patrick\u2019s church as they receive their first Eucharist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of our Lenten observance, Immaculate Heart of\nMary Parish is hosting a series of sessions, \u201cSitting\nwith the Gospels of Lent\u201d. \nThere will be five weekly sessions during which people will be invited\nto participate in a quiet, prayerful reflection on the Gospel reading for the\nfollowing Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an excellent way in which to prepare for\nEaster and to move deeper into the richness and beauty of the Scriptures.  The meetings will be based on the simple but\nprofound approach to reading the Bible, called Lectio Divina.  This method is easily accessible to everyone\nregardless of previous experience. All are warmly welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
