We are coming to the end of the Season of Advent....I am sure the faithful parishioners of Kimmage Manor Parish have made it a wonderful preparation for celebrating the Birthday of Jesus. We had one marvellous example of this preparation....the recent Parish Carol Service. What a celebration it was! Everyone involved...the Folk Group...the Children...the Children’s Leadership Group...the parents and friends present...all are to be congratulated for a memorable period in the Parish’s Life. So...the Great Day is almost upon us. May Jesus, the Prince of Peace, bring that peace into the lives of our parish families...and indeed into the lives of all people everywhere. He made us a promise..we need to be patient and work towards making Peace happen with His help. On behalf of Frs. Tom, Eddie, and Raphael may I wish the deeply committed members of Kimmage Manor Parish Faith Community the Joys of Christmas. May we bring that joy and peace to all we meet.
