God alone can give faith,
but you can be his witness.
God alone can give hope,
but you can give confidence to your brothers and sisters.
God alone can give love,
but you can teach others how to love.
God alone can give peace,
but you can sow the seeds of unity.
God alone gives strength,
but you can help the weak.
God alone is the Way,
but you can show it to others.
God alone is light,
but you can make it shine in the eyes of all.
God alone is life,
but you can share your desire to live.
God alone can do the impossible,
but you can do all that is possible.
God alone is enough,
but he prefers to count on your help.

• Courses at All Hallows: The Pathways Course: Have you ever thought about exploring your faith? Or wished that you could broaden your understanding of your faith?
  Perhaps you are feeling challenged by questions your children or grandchildren are asking about God and the meaning of faith for which you feel you have ‘no answers’.
  Perhaps you are feeling challenged by all that is happening in the Irish Church right now. If so, Pathways may be the course for you. Pathways is a course for adults who wish to explore their faith. There are no exams on this course, no written work. The only qualification is an openness to listening to others.

• Clothes Collections: Please remind parishioners that there are several leaflets being dropped into homes, purporting to be genuine charitable clothes collections, which may be bogus. Recently one was circulated claiming to be involved with local Churches – but when we checked out the telephone numbers given on them,  none was in operation. Well known Irish Charities, such as Enable Ireland and the Irish Cancer Society, who leave bags for collection always use valid phone numbers and charity numbers. Established charities, including the Vincent de Paul rely on clothes collections for vital income and are being significantly affected by the bogus collections
