An opportunity to participate in PATHWAYS An Adult
Faith Development Programme in Clonliffe College
Have you ever thought about exploring your faith…. Or wished that you could
broaden your understanding of your faith….found yourself longing to search for
some kind of deeper meaning in life?...perhaps you are you feeling challenged by
questions your children or grandchildren are asking about God and the meaning of
faith for which you feel you have ‘no answers’… perhaps you are feeling
challenged by all that is happening in Ireland and in the Church right now. If so,
Pathways may be the course for you.
Pathways is a two-year one night a week course for adults who wins to
explore their faith. It runs from Mid-September to May each year.
There are no exams and no written work. The only requirement is an
openness to listening to others and to participate. You can just come
along and enjoy! The cost is €400 for the coming academic year.
Booking is now open. The programme begins this year in Clonliffe
College on Thursday 22nd September 2016 (7.00pm-9.30pm)

MUSINGS
Today’s Gospel always evokes in me a
sense of a sharing: a sense of family
picnic. Using mindfulness I try to place
myself at the table of The Last Supper just
as I do when meditating on the Fifth
Luminous Mystery of the Rosary. Those
schools and parishes that organise a First
Communion Breakfast know well how to
recapture the community aspect of
Communion. Another tradition much
appreciated by so many parishioners is the
Corpus Christi procession. In many places
it is no doubt a day special for this year’s
First Communicants and another
opportunity to dress up in those special
clothes and be part of the sacramental
community and the larger family
community. Today, we don’t just receive
Jesus into our souls, in song we also take
Him with us around our streets.

WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES SPECIAL COLLECTION
‘The strength of the family lies in its capacity to love and to teach how
to love.’ - Pope Francis (Amoris Laetitia, April 2016)
Pope Francis has decided that the World Meeting of Families will
be held in Dublin from 22nd to 26th August 2018, with the theme
“The Gospel of the Family: Joy for the World”.
In 2018, the 9th World Meeting of Families is expected to attract
thousands of Catholic families from around the globe to Ireland.
It is hoped that this very special pastoral initiative will present all
of us in the Church with the opportunity, and the challenge, to renew, support
and strengthen Irish families in their commitment to their faith.
Hosting a global event of this size requires a huge amount of planning and
financial outlay on behalf of the host country. Accordingly, our bishops have
now established a National Finance Committee to provide advice on the
financial planning for the World Meeting of Families in Ireland. To support the
hosting of the event we intend to hold three national church collections, the
first of which will take place this weekend of 28–29 May. The remaining
collections will take place in 2017 and 2018. Please visit
www.worldmeeting2018.ie for more details.
This special collection will be taken up instead of the Share collection. The
World Meeting of Families was a pastoral initiative of St John Paul II. Held
every three years, and coordinated by the Pontifical Council for the Family, it is
the largest universal gathering of Catholic families and brings together families
from all over the world in faith and celebration.
SCOIL COLM
On Friday, 10th June, Scoil Colm is planning a day of celebration to mark its history in
the Crumlin community before its planned amalgamation with St Agnes’ Primary
School.
On the day, the pupils of Scoil Colm will be treated to fun events in the school hall and
our parents and members of the local community will be treated to tea/coffee and
light snacks in our Parents’ Room from 11.00am. Thereafter, everyone will gather
together at midday for our annual sponsored walk around Crumlin. This year, we are
inviting anyone who has a connection with the school to join us in our final sponsored
walk before amalgamation in celebration of our great school.
Traditionally, our sponsored walk raised funds for our school, but this year we are
donating funds to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin in recognition of their
service to our community.
Please spread the word to anyone who has a connection with the school and who
might like to join us in our day of celebration. We look forward to welcoming the
whole school community to this event.
