I look back at the events of the past week, and beam with joy and gratitude for all the enthusiasm and creativity put in by everyone as we had the school’s Halloween parade, “trunk or treat” and bingo, the “farewell” reception for Father Lawrence, the saints and angels festival, and the 1st annual car show sponsored by the Knights, which included pumpkin carving, cornhole and BBQ!

The fun never stopped, everywhere I looked there was something happening, and the high energy was definitely contagious! I personally am (yes, present tense) over the moon, and so looking forward to be part of more living-giving and fun-filled events in the parish in the days and weeks ahead leading to Christmas!

Let us continue to pray for everyone’s health and safety as we experience the cool winter breeze and gusty wind (sometimes) here in Dublin!
