B.E. – BEGINNING EXPERIENCE
B.E. is a support group for those coping with the pain of loss of their life partner, through Death, Separation or Divorce. Few people are able to cope alone with the pain of loss. Do you find that you need more support than family and friends can provide? Seeking help is a sign of strength and self-knowledge – not weakness. This is a healing ministry, which helps to resolve the grief that goes with the end of a marriage or relationship. Coping effectively with bereavement is a skill we can all learn.
Next Coping with Life Alone Programme will take place on 3rd September 2022 from 8.45a.m.– 4p.m. in St Mary’s Priory, Main Street, Dublin 24 D24KA40
Next Residential weekend will take place from 7th – 9th October in St Mary’s Priory, Main Street, Tallaght.

A Parish Funeral Ministry Team
The celebration of funerals in our churches during Covid lockdowns was affected in many ways. Restricted numbers, social distancing and the uncertainty about the various public health recommendations took their toll on the quality of our celebrations, who could be present and inevitably the participation of Funeral Teams.
It is time to look now at beginning a Funeral Ministry Team in our Parish.
Many people through the Diocese have responded to an invitation to contribute to parish life in a new way by being part of a Parish Funeral Ministry Team. The Diocese will offer training for new members of Parish Funeral Ministry Teams in the coming months. Venues will be announced nearer the dates with hybrid possibilities (face to face and zoom) and the way to book places and the ‘New Funeral Team Members’ Training dates are: 28 Sept, 19 Oct and 23 Nov 2022.
This programme is only for new members and is a continuation of diocesan formation work over the years, and if you are interested, please let Fr Peter know as soon as possible through the Parish Office.
A Prayer during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Adoration
“Nowhere on earth are you more welcome,
nowhere on earth are you more loved than by Jesus,
living and truly present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament,
is the best time you will spend on earth.
Each moment that you spend with Jesus,
will deepen your union with Him
and will make your soul everlastingly
more glorious and beautiful in heaven,
and will help bring about an everlasting peace on earth”

Weekly Eucharistic Adoration
Morning and Evening Prayer
Monday evening Rosary for our young people. Are you concerned about reluctance of many young people to embrace the faith? If so, please join us on Monday evenings at 6.00 pm in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Ballycullen Avenue, to pray the Rosary for this special intention. It will take only 15 minutes or so. All are welcome.
Weekday morning Rosary: After 10.00 am Mass each morning the Rosary is prayed by an ad-hoc group of parishioners at the back of the church. Anyone who would like to join in is very welcome.
Miraculous Medal Novena
Every Monday after 10.00 am Mass we have this short novena consisting of four special prayers and prayer for our own intentions.
Annual Bereavement Mass
The Annual Bereavement Support Mass in November each year is organised by the Bethany Bereavement Support Group.
Please click here for more information on the Bethany Bereavement Support Group.
Tuesday Morning Prayer Service
There is no Mass in the parish church on Tuesdays. Instead, we have a service provided by some of our Ministers of the Word and Ministers of the Eucharist. We are grateful to these volunteers for their willingness to provide this service. It has become a necessary but vital part of parish life.
The service consists of a penitential rite, reading of the word of God (scripture readings of the day), intercessory prayers and distribution of Holy Communion. No doubt, in future, we will need, and can expect to see further lay involvement in parish ministry.
Live Streaming of Mass
Mass is live streamed for anyone who wishes to tune in from their homes.
Although our suppliers have the camera focused on the Sanctuary, please be aware that you may be on camera from time to time.
