Sacraments Update 2nd May 2021
As we prepare for the safe return to public worship on May 10th Archbishop Farrell has updated parishes on the celebration of the Sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation in 2021.
The public health advice is that ceremonies such as these should not take place at the time of resumption of public worship. For that reason, celebrations of these sacraments can not take place until we are notified it is safe to do so.
The Archbishop believes that engagement with the public authorities will enable the position to be reviewed in due course over the coming weeks and months.
Given these circumstances he says it appropriate and necessary that the celebration of First Reconciliation and Holy Communion for 2021 candidates should be deferred until the Autumn. We will follow this advice here in Holy Trinity and St. Pauls.
The celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation for 2021 candidates may be possible over the summer months if we are notified by public health authorities and the Archbishop that it is safe and appropriate to do so. We will update you as soon as we know ourselves.
The Archbishop realises that this situation will be a cause of disappointment to many families but trusts that they will understand the rationale for this approach.
I hope this gives you all some clarity on things as they currently stand.
Best wishes,
Fr. Gerry Corcoran - Moderator & Co-Parish Priest
" Do This In Memory " is the Parish Preparation Programme for First Holy Communion.
Since we are still in level 5 lockdown, which does not allow for public worship, we cannot confirm the date for the First Holy Communion cermony

Funeral Mass in Ayrfield
In order to comply with legislation, attendance at funeral masses is in accordance with
Goverment guidelines and Dublin Diocesan Directive.
With effect from the 10th May 2021 up to 50 mourners can attend a funeral.
At this time we pray for the happy repose of the souls of all who passed away recently. May they rest in peace.
May He support us all the day long,
till the shades lengthen and the evening comes,
and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over,
and our work is done.
Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging,
and a holy rest and peace at the last.
Saint John Henry Newman

A Prayer in the Time of the Coronavirus
Almighty and All-loving God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
we pray to you through Christ the Healer
for those who suffer from the Coronavirus Covid-19
in Ireland and across the world.
We pray too for all who reach out to those who mourn the loss
of each and every person who has died as a result of contracting the disease.
Give wisdom to policymakers,
skill to healthcare professionals and researchers,
comfort to everyone in distress
and a sense of calm to us all in these days of uncertainty and distress.
This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
who showed compassion to the outcast,
acceptance to the rejected
and love to those to whom no love was shown.
Amen.
