Today, August 8th, the Feast of Saint Dominic, we give thanks for the presence of the Dominican Priests and Brothers in The Claddagh and the Dominican Sisters in Taylor's Hill. You have made an immense contribution to our city and diocese.
We pray for all the athletes who will represent Ireland in The Olympics in Beijing, that they will be fair minded and show true sportsmanship, and that they will give thanks to God for the honour of representing our country and for the athletic gifts he has given them.
