+St. Patrick’s Church, Monkstown www.monkstownparish.ie Sunday 19th October 2014 Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear Friends, It is now one year since we launched the parish booklet. The booklet listed all the groups which are involved in our parish. It was a very attractively laid out booklet and a lot of hard work went into its preparation. Perhaps it might be a timely reminder for people to get out the booklet and read through the information on the various groups active in the parish. Perhaps you might even consider becoming involved in some of these groups.
