PARISH NOTICES
IN NOVEMBER WE REMEMBER
DURING NOVEMBER we traditionally remember all our loved ones who have gone to their rest.
Envelopes for the Altar List of the Dead are available at the back of the Church or in the Parish Office.
Envelopes can be left into the Sacristy or the Parish Office and will be placed in a Basket beside the Altar and will be prayed for During the Month of November.
Parishioners are invited to light a candle any time through November and place it in the Cross. Memorial Candles are available in the Parish Office for €1 and may also be taken home or given to a friend who might be grieving.
Remembrance Board ~ At the back of the Church, we have a board with the names of all the people whose funerals took place in Gardiner Street this year. Parishioners are invited to write down the names of anyone they would like to be remembered.
BOOK CLUB

GARDINER STREET NATIONAL SCHOOL
On Friday morning the trusteeship of Gardiner Street National School was handed from the Sisters of Charity to the Jesuits. The ceremony took place in the school hall and was enriched by the song and dance of the children. A candle was handed from the Provincial of the Sisters Una O’Neill to Fr. Bruce Bradley SJ who had been delegated by Fr. Leonard Moloney SJ, the Jesuit Provincial (Fr. Moloney was presiding at the funeral Mass of broadcaster Gay Byrne in the Pro-Cathedral). Our prayer is that the Jesuits can continue the near 200 year tradition begun by Sr. Mary Aikenhead with a wide and inclusive education for children in the parish.

ECOTIPS
Every household in Ireland is responsible for one ton of food waste per year. That’s between €400 and €1,000 per household per year thrown into the bin. And it’s not just a waste of money, it’s also costing the earth.
Where possible we should prevent food waste in the first instance. Top tips to prevent food waste include checking your store cupboard before you shop, have a list, only buy what you need and don’t be tempted by special offers on perishable foods. https://www.mywaste.ie/what-to-do-with-my-food-waste/

Pray with Pope Francis
During the month of November Pope Francis invites us to pray
That a spirit of dialogue, encounter, and reconciliation emerge in the Near East, where diverse religious communities share their lives together.
