As We Move Toward the End of Lent: There is Still
Time to Clean House and Make Room for God. Cleaning
out garages is a metaphor for so much more. Cleaning out
the house within is an even
greater
challenge. When we clean out the house within, we make
more room for the presence of God. He comes and lives
within, transforming us by His Spirit and expanding our
capacity to love. Let us make room for. After all, the
Christian vocation is always a call to make room for God.
The call to develop a life of
prayer and dialogue with God in a communion of love is
forever challenging. It requires our continual response to
His continual invitations. It also entails \"cleaning out the
garage\" at times, cleaning out the place within, where God
wants to come and dwell. He deserves the best of quarters,
emptied of anything that will compete with His residency.

A place has been set aside on the
Alter for parishioners to avail of

Spring is in the air.......Tourist Season is fast approaching........it's time to start making our homes & businesses more colourful & appealing. It's amazing what a lick
of paint will do!! Window boxes containing colourful flowers &
shrubs work wonders also. The more attractive our towns,
villages, streets etc are to visitors, the longer they will stay
around. South Galway & North Clare have so much to offer.
We all need to pull together & make our towns & villages
stand out from the rest. . A public meeting will take place
in Gort Library on Weds April 5th, 7pm for us all to learn
what Galway 2020 will mean for our community and also
how you can get involved. Please come along to show
support. We all need to all "pull together" !!! Galway 2020.
It's going to be hug
