- Ukrainian Crisis and our Parish Response Our thoughts and prayers have been turned to the war in Ukraine since February. It is heart-breaking to see the huge loss of life and the wanton destruction of property. Many people in the parish have been praying for the victims and for the end to the war on a daily basis. A few months ago, our government made an appeal to open their doors to welcome people who were fleeing the conflict, where it was possible. As a parish, we are in a position to play a small part in this effort. The parish house in 3 Meanus Heights is primarily in place as a parish office. However, there are 3 bedrooms upstairs and this space has been offered to Ukrainians through Kerry County Council. It is expected that it will be occupied by two families and that they will arrive this weekend. The Parish Office is based in a large room downstairs in the house. It will continue to be used as an office and the opening hours will remain the same. The rest of the house will be occupied by the new residents. We hope that they will feel at home amongst us, and we continue to pray for them during this huge upheaval in their lives.
