Hymn for Today
Though we are many, we are one body.
We who come to share this living bread;
Cup of salvation, shared among all nations,
nourishing us now and evermore.
We gather in this place round the table of the Lord.
Christ’s presence is revealed in our communion
and his Living Word.
Now our communion recalls Christ’s death and
resurrection.
This living sacrifice is our salvation now and
evermore.

“Married love is a unique form of love between a
man and a woman which has a benefit for the
whole of society. The Catholic Church, with other
Christians and those of no particular religious
view, regard the family based on marriage between
a man and a woman as the single most important
institution in any society.” [extract from The
Meaning of Marriage: Pastoral Statement of the
Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference]
Baptisms in St Mary’s Parish: Baptism Course limited
