Reminder – Please respect our cemeteries. Dogs are not permitted on Cemetery grounds.
People are offended by dogs urinating on graves. Dogs are not allowed in School Fields
because of the dangers to Health and Safety and the risks for our children. Cemeteries are the
same – Health and Safety is a priority. The Cemetery is a sacred place and families who visit to
pay respect to their deceased loved ones should not have to contend with such an issue,
especially when it is preventable. Dogs may be tied to the gate of the cemetery. We thank you
for your understanding of this sensitive issue.

The Iona Institute: Ireland is undergoing a far-reaching and radical moral revolution. The
challenges faced are; the right to life of the unborn and of the old and infirm is being attacked in
the name of ‘choice’. The right of a child to a mother and father is being attacked by those who
want to radically redefine marriage, the family and parenthood. Church-run schools are being
condemned as ‘sectarian’ and demands are growing that public funding of them be ended. A
strong attempt is underway to drive religion from public life and to place restrictions on the
rights of religious believers to live by convictions. Catholic hospitals have been told they must
perform abortions. The Iona Institute is the leading organisation in the country standing up to
these challenges and provides a counter argument through conferences, talks, research,
education and advocacy. For more information see www.ionainstitute.ie.

Trinity Sunday Prayer
Father, You sent your Word to bring us truth and your Spirit to make us holy.
Through them we come to know the mystery of your life.
Help us to worship you, one God in three persons, You reveal yourself in the
depths of our being, by proclaiming and living our faith in you. Grant this
through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever.
Amen
