Tubbercurry is the focus parish of our prayers this week. Praying for Tubbercurry parish completes the second round our prayer for the parishes. In all, then, we have dedicated forty six weeks to praying for our diocese and each of its parishes. Our prayer continues because we have much to be grateful for, a rich spiritual heritage spanning more than fifteen hundred years, and the many godly men and women, our ancestors, who have embraced that heritage through the years. May we never forget that past. On that rich foundation of faith, we are praying that the Lord will help us build a future of hope, a future where we will allow the Lord to draw us into a deeper relationship with him, where we will experience ever more fully the wonder of his love and become his disciples knowing the joy of faith and the delight of sharing the Good News of the Lord's amazing, passionate love for each one of us. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us. St. Attracta, pray for us. St.Nathy, pray for us.
The Light is On For You — On Sunday December 21st, Carracastle Church and surrouding parish churches will be open for individual confession between 5pm and 6pm. There will be a visiting priest available. Sincerely celebrating this sacrament is a wonderful way to prepare for Christmas and to receive the joy, peace and transformation the Lord brings into our lives.
