PALLOTTINE PRAYER
Lord, make me a better person, more considerate towards others, more honest with myself, more faithful to you. Make me generous enough to want sincerely to do your will whatever it may be. Help me to find my true vocation in life and grant that through it I may find happiness myself and bring happiness to others. Lord, may those whom you call to enter the priesthood or religious life have the generosity to answer your call.
------------------------------------------------------
Fr Seamus and Mgr Tony thank everyone for their help with, and contribution to,   the services of the Easter Triduum and wish everyone a Happy and a Holy Easter
