PARISH NEWSLETTER
9th August, 2009. Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

“I am the living bread which has come down from heaven”

We hunger for lots of things.
We hunger for food to give us sustenance and energy.
We hunger for relationships to help us through life.
We hunger for faith to give deeper meaning to our lives.
We hunger for hope especially in the midst of a recession.
We hunger for love to bring out the best part of each of us.
And we hunger for God to bring meaning and fulfilment to all we do.

We pray to you, God to satisfy all our hungers, but especially our hunger for meaning and fulfilment in life.
We invite you, our loving God, into our lives.
We ask you to bring many blessings into our lives today and throughout the coming week.
We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen
(www. today is my gift to you)

TAX RECLAIM FORMS for 2008
We again thank all the parishioners who returned their Tax Reclaim forms for 2007 earlier this year. We received €9,018.34 back from the Revenue Commissioners as a result. As this claim back can be made for up to four years, we had only sent in the claims for 2007 in April. A separate form has to be sent in for each tax year and we now wish to send in the reclaims for the year ended December 31st, 2008. These forms have been sent out recently and we would encourage those concerned to return them as soon as possible so we can continue the process of reclaiming the relevant tax for 2008.
