🤝 Help Us Name Our New Parish Partnership! 🤝
As part of the Dublin Diocese ‘Building Hope’ initiative, our parish of Rush is coming together to work much more closely with our neighboring parishes in Lusk and Skerries. By combining our strengths, supporting one another, and sharing resources, we are planning a bright, vibrant future for all three communities.
To mark this new journey together, we need to choose an official name for our parish partnership—and we want you to have your say!
Why These Names?
Our Parish Pastoral Councils (PPCs) met to shortlist 4 meaningful options rooted in our shared history, geography, and faith:
Christ the Harvest (Críost an Fhómhair) – Celebrating our rich local farming traditions and agricultural heritage.
Christ the Seed (Críost an Síol) – Honoring our roots and the growing faith across our coastal and farming communities.
St. Moibhí – In honor of a beloved local saint whose historical connection is shared across Lusk, Rush, and Skerries.
Réalt na Mara (Star of the Sea) – Reflecting our shared, stunning coastline and honoring Our Lady, Star of the Sea.
How You Can Vote:
We would love for you to rank these options from 1 to 4 (with 1 being your top choice)!
📱 Online: Scan the QR code on the poster attached to submit your ranking directly or use this link: forms.cloud.microsoft/r/zVraUme0sf
📄 In Person: Vote at church during Mass this weekend using the voting forms available at the doors.
