Diocesan Youth Weekend You have hopefully seen in the Scribe that there will be a youth weekend in the Share Centre near Lisnaskea from 7th to 9th March. This is open to all young people of secondary school age and above - but perhaps particularly good for those preparing for confirmation or those who have been confirmed in the last couple of years. We have only 80 places - so first come first served. There will be many fun indoor and outdoor activities to choose from as well as teaching times and good worship music lead by young people. All meals included - cost €50 per person. |

It was a shock for us all when Mary Thornton died suddenly in our midst. We would offer sympathy to husband Alan and all who counted Mary as family and friend. Mary has been an active member of Swanlinbar Parish for many years and has been wonderfully supportive of Parish life and the life of the group. Please pray for all those who struggle with the pain of losing loved ones.
