Welcome to the Website of St. Vincent de Paul Parish, Marino, Dublin, Ireland. We are a parish of the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin.
We are a north side Dublin community of 5,000 homes with a population of approximately 13,000 people. We are a Parish with a vibrant community, made up of “old” Marino people and relative “newcomers” from all walks of life.
We aim to live out our Mission Statement: “THE CATHOLIC PARISH OF MARINO WILL FOSTER A VIBRANT, CARING COMMUNITY THAT IS LOVING, WELCOMING AND SUPPORTIVE OF ALL”
Our mission is to grow in the image of Christ through the Holy Spirit, to be formed by the Word and our prayer, to use our gifts to welcome those who are here and reach out to those who are not. We invite you to join us as partners in the mission. Together, let us get to know Christ better and to make Him better known.
May God Bless you wherever you are and thank you for exploring our website.

FIRST COMMUNION
Our journey to our celebrations of First Reconciliation and First Communion has begun! We had our Enrolment Mass on Sunday 12 October when our First Communion families & children made their promises to come to Mass at the weekend, talk to Jesus every day and do their best to live as Jesus would like them to. The children went home laden down with things for setting up a Sacred Space at home! Our next Mass together in preparation for First Communion will be celebrated on the Feast of Christ the King, Nov 23 at 12.30pm (see below for a photo from last year’s Mass on this feast day). Any families who have yet to enrol for First Communion should contact Anne Dooley, the Parish Catechist, c/o the Parish Office on 8332772.
CONFIRMATION:
Confirmation preparation has begun with an information session for our candidates and their parents at end of September, followed by our Enrolment Mass on Sunday 5th October. The boys and girls for Confirmation have committed themselves to daily or weekly good deeds, daily prayer and Mass at the weekend, as well as to throwing themselves into our Confirmation programme! Our next project together will be to start the ‘Nua Origins’ film programme after the mid-term break. Families who have yet to register should contact Anne Dooley, Parish Catechist, c/o Parish Office on 01-8332772 immediately.

Prayer after Communion
Lord, we are grateful; now may we be generous. Lord, we have been nourished; now may we nourish one another. May we be bread for one another, the bread of compassion, the bread of encouragement, the bread of life.
A PRAYER FOR WORN-TORN PARTS OF THE WORLD (from Clonard Monastery, Belfast)
- For those who are fleeing: sanctuary,
- For those who are staying: safety,
- For those who are fighting: peace,
- For those whose hearts are breaking: comfort,
- For those who see no future: hope.
Prayer for Vocations: Archbishop Farrell is asking that we pray for vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life on a regular basis. ‘As you are well aware the need is great, so let’s answer God’s call and pray that the Lord of the harvest will send labourers into his harvest’. A new Director and Assistant Director of Vocations have been appointed for the archdiocese, Fr Seamus McEntee and Fr Bill O Shaughnessy.
