Back to School Blessing
For all the children returning to school:
Heavenly Father, send your Holy Spirit as their guide and protector. Keep them free from danger and harm. Put our sons and daughters in the right place, at the right time, to receive your grace. Let them learn and grow strong. May the presence of your Spirit fill their hearts.
Help us to mature as parents and care-givers. Bless every family, O Lord.
We entrust our children to you, dear Lord, since from the beginning they are yours to keep. We ask this in the name of the greatest son of all, Jesus Christ. AMEN.
(per Fr. Tom O’Gorman).
I first came to Quin in July 2013, to be an Assistant Pastor (AP) to the late Fr. Michael Collins, P.P. He introduced me to the parish and to many of its parishioners. Sadly, Fr. Collins was to pass away a year and a half later (19th February 2015) and his death occasioned a great outpouring of sadness throughout
