+St. Patrick’s Church, Monkstown www.monkstownparish.ie Sunday 16th November 2014 Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear Friends, Just a reminder to everyone that we have a parish book and film club. This is an MC3 initiative. Our two recent events have been very successful but not very well attended. The discussions after the film “Gravity” and the book “Sisters of Sinai” were very lively and stimulating. Our next event is this coming Thursday when we will discuss Stephen Grosz’s book “The Examined Life”. Each event takes place at 7.30pm in the Parochial House.
