Parish Notices 13 July 2025

Hospitality Dates for the diary: Tea and coffee after mass will run throughout the summer every 2 weeks in the Parish hall. Everyone is welcome! We will have lots of homemade baking to enjoy and would love to see you there.   Hospitality will run on the following dates: 13th and 27th of July.

Donabate Teen Youth Group – Alpha – Our teen youth group recently started Alpha at our online youth group sessions on Friday evenings from 8-9pm via Zoom. If there are any teens who’d like to join us, you’d be more than welcome. A parent/guardian can register their interest by emailing: donabateparishcm@gmail.com

Rest with the Lord – As the Summer is a time for focussing more on rest and renewal, why not take some time to rest with the Lord and come along to one of our contemplative prayer sessions. It’s a time where we slow down our breathing, and just sit in silence quietly repeating a little word or phrase to the Lord. Our sessions take place on Tuesday evenings from 7-8pm and Friday mornings from 7-7:25am. Both take place in the little room with the white door on right hand side of the parish hall. Why not come along and give it a try and see what you think!
