I give you my hands to do your work;
I give you my feet to go your way;
I give you my eyes to see as you do;
I give you my tongue to speak your words;
I give you my mind that you may think in me;
I give you my spirit that you may pray in me;
Above all, I give you my heart so that in me you may love your Father and all mankind.

The first ‘Road Run’ in aid of St. David’s Church, Johnstown took place on Sunday 7th August. Not only were we blessed with the weather on the day, the support of the local community was brilliant.
The organising committee would like to extend their thanks to all who contributed in any way to this event. A special mention must be given to the Merrigan family who gave the use of their field for the day and to Damien Keane & Bianca Divito who kindly allowed us plug into the Old School House to keep the kettle boiling!
On Thursday 21st July, the invaluable contributions by parish volunteers was acknowledged and celebrated with Mass at 3p.m. followed by a garden party.
If you would like to get involved in parish life, new volunteers are always welcome. Please contact Fr. Pádraig or Fr. David c/o the Parish Office.

May God give you …
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
and a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
