A Prayer For The New Year

Lord, let this year be filled with the things that are truly good

With the comfort of warmth in our relationships,

With the strength to help those who need our help

And the humility and openness to accept help from others.

Welcome to our parish website. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to St. Columba's Iona Road Parish website. The internet is a great force for good and it can be very effectively used to communicate the Gospel. The Gospel is good news and I encourage you to share and to spread some of that good news not just to the parishioners but to the entire world by means of this wonderful vehicle of communication.

Our website will be local and universal because it is part of the Catholic Ireland Website. You will be able to log in to get news of the church throughout the country and the world and also to keep in touch with daily readings from the word of God.

Congratulations and thank you to the parish pastoral council for getting this initiative up and running.

This is our vehicle of communication. Use it and spread the word of what the Lord is doing in our lives and how he is blessing our parish so abundantly.

Fr. Jim Caffrey P.P.
