The Bishop has asked for a contribution from each Parish to meet the cost of services provided by the Diocese.

The amount to be collected by this Parish is €5,400.
Christian Unity Week: From 18th to the 25th January is a week of prayer for Christian Unity. We are conscious of the many divisions among followers of Christ. It is the will of Christ that they may be one. During that week we join Christians all over the world in praying that the divisions may be healed and unity restored.
Set Dancing Classes: Due to weather conditions Set Dancing Classes at St. Loman’s G. A. A. Hall, Mullingar will re-commence on Monday 18th January, weather permitting.
The Baptism of Jesus
Christmas, and more generally the liturgical year, is exactly that drawing near to these divine signs, to recognize them as impressed into daily events, so that our hearts may be open to God’s love. And if Christmas and Epiphany serve primarily to render us capable of seeing, of opening our eyes and hearts to the mystery of a God who comes to be with us, then we can say that the Feast of the Baptism of Jesus introduces us into the daily regularity of a personal relationship with him. Indeed, by immersion in the waters of the Jordan, Jesus united himself with us. Baptism is, so to speak, the bridge he built between himself and us, the road on which he makes himself accessible to us, It is the divine rainbow over our lives, the promise of God’s great “yes”, the door of hope and, at the same time, the sign that indicates to us the path to take actively and joyfully in order to encounter him and feel loved by him.
Pope Benedict XVI.
