23 children's will receive their First
Holy Communion this year in St Mary's Church, Askeaton on Saturday 8th May.
Spiritual Garden of Remembrance
The Spiritual Garden of Remembrance will
be officially opened shortly.
The garden is dedicated
to the memory of all babies and infants who have died. It
can also be a place where people who have lost a loved one
can spend some quiet time away from worldly distractions
in a natural setting for some prayer and meditation.
Within the garden is a labyrinth*, a water feature, a wild
garden area, a pergola and árasán.
The garden is
situated at the rear of Askeaton Church and is accessible
through the archway on the right.
*The labyrinth is a
kind of body prayer and links in with the ancient
Christian and Celtic traditions of pilgrimage. It came to
prominence in medieval times as a substitute for the
pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
A huge thank you to all the hard-working
men and women from the parish of Askeaton/Ballysteen who
volunteered their time and energy over the past 2 years.
