    Walking Together in Faith… Sunday April 14Th Is Palm Sunday and Marks the Beginning of Holy Week

    Established 1967 www.lucannewsletter.ie Sub. 80c Sunday 14th April 2019 Walking together in faith… Sunday April 14th is Palm Sunday and marks the beginning of Holy Week. During Holy Week Christians celebrate the saving events of the passion and death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, culminating in our celebration of his glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday. The four Christian Churches in Lucan will each mark these days according to their own traditions but at the heart of each manner of celebration is the saving reality of Christ’s sacrifice for our sake, a true point of shared faith and solidarity that transcends historical divisions. Each Good Friday the Lucan churches come together to walk in an expression of shared faith behind the Cross of Jesus. The walk begins at 12.00 noon when we assemble in St. Mary’s Catholic Church for scripture reading and reflection with some hymns. The walk then moves down the hill to the Methodist Church – but this year because of ongoing work in the Methodist church we will assemble in the small park opposite to continue the scripture sharing and reflections. We then proceed down to Lucan Presbyterian Church where we pause once again to share the Word and reflect. Our final destination is St. Andrew’s Church of Ireland where we conclude our scripture journey and prayers of reflection, and where thanks to the hospitality of the congregation at St. Andrew’s we share a cuppa before returning home. It is a special moment each year and one that we would encourage members of each congregation to make a special effort for.

This watercourse drains to the Dodder River which ultimately discharges to Dublin Bay that is covered by several European site designations. There are several other designated European sites in the wider area although most do not have a direct connection to the proposed works. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) and application under Section 177AE was lodged by the Local Authority on the basis of the proposed development’s likely significant effect on a European site. Section 177AE of the Planning and Development act 2000 (as amended) requires that where an appropriate assessment is required in respect of development by a local authority the authority shall prepare an NIS and the development shall not be carried out unless the Board has approved the development with or without modifications.
