  • An Act of Love | Westport Parish

    Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link < Back An Act of Love O Lord God, I love you above all things, and I love my neighbor for your sake because you are the highest, the infinite, and perfect good, worthy of all my love. In this love, I intend to live and die. Amen. The Act of Love prayer is a concise yet impactful expression of our love for God and our commitment to loving and forgiving others. This prayer is often used in personal devotion, the sacrament of reconciliation, and as a preparation for receiving the Eucharist. It serves as a powerful reminder of the central role of love in the Christian faith, encouraging us to grow continuously in our love for God and our neighbour. Known as the Act of Love or the Act of Charity, this traditional Catholic prayer has been cherished for centuries. While its exact origins remain uncertain, it likely emerged as a heartfelt way for Catholics to express their devotion to God and their dedication to living a life rooted in love and service. The prayer reflects the teachings of Jesus, who emphasised that the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbour as ourselves (Mark 12:30-31). In its simplicity, the Act of Love captures these principles, calling us to place love for God above all else, to love our neighbours as ourselves, and to pursue forgiveness and reconciliation with those we have wronged.

At times the views are breathtaking and the walk is easy. Other moments are less than pleasant, with changing difficulty and sudden storms, mirroring our fragile existence and troubles. We can only truly prepare ourselves for all the possible hazards and hardships of the journey through trust in God. All other precautions avail us nothing in comparison. Be prepared for changing westher

  • John Kelly | Westport Parish

    Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link John Kelly 10 August 2025 3:52 pm We arrived at 2.50pm. The climb was onerous, as I have an artificial knee. It was very disappointing to find the doors of the Church closed. I so wanted to go in, say a prayer and have a rest. Everyone else who arrived with us was of the same opinion. I do think that this is something which needs to be looked at, in these times when things are difficult for the Church. John Kelly

    < Back Drummin National School Drummin National School There has been a school in the village of Drummin since 1849, with the building dating back to 1936. Over the years there have been many refurbishments and renovations, including a new classroom and a beautiful landscaped playground, which includes picnic benches for dining al fresco, a vegetable garden and an insect hotel. Drummin NS is a happy, busy school where pupils and staff respect, care and support each other in an inclusive environment on their journey through primary school. We place great emphasis on developing and nurturing the whole child. The child's personal talents and interests are encouraged and developed, building a solid foundation for lifelong learning and confidence. Our low pupil to teacher ratio means that every child gets the attention and time they deserve. We provide opportunities for the children to take part in a number of fun activities throughout the year including playing tin whistle, ukulele, mindfulness, yoga, meditation, art projects, table tennis, sport, science experiments, environmental activities and growing our own food and plants. We are a Green School and are currently undertaking the Amber Flag initiative, supporting positive mental health and looking after our minds and bodies.
