St Colmcille Partnership of Parishes

Our new Parish Partnership known as St Colmcille Partnership of Parishes is our response to the Building Hope Project initiated by Archbishop Dermot Farrell. We are getting to know our neighbouring parishes and, with co-operation and regular contact, we will be able to meet the future challenges while maintaining the individual identities and churches we know and cherish.

It is very clear that the future will not look like the past. Our world has changed: God is bringing forth something new among the precious treasure (Matthew 13:52 – bringing out of the storeroom new treasures as well as old). At the beginning of 2023, Parish clergy and members from the Pastoral Councils from the six Parishes came together to form a Partnership Pastoral Council (PPC) with the intention of sharing ideas, resources and services. The role of Lay Ministry is vital as we move forward and the PPC will work with the Parish Pastoral Councils to provide training and encourage participation. We want to encourage a spirit of inclusivity between our Parishes and encourage our Parishioners to avail of the Masses, Faith Resources and activities across the Partnership.

First Mission outreach from St. Colmcille Partnership

The Evangelisation Committee of St. Colmcille’s Partnership of Parishes first mission focus will be reaching out to Cherrywood. As you may know Cherrywood will have 30,000 people when completed but no church community. So we are running the Alpha Course there on Thur 19th Sept from 7.30 to 9pm. The Lord has given us favour with Starbucks and they have agreed to open their restaurant for 10 Thursday evenings just for this Course
