Booking for the Pastoral Congress in the RDS is now open on our website and includes the possibility of booking free, guaranteed tickets for the Festival of Families and the Final Mass, subject to availability. Details of how to get tickets for the Festival of Families in Croke Park on Saturday 25^th August and the Final Mass in the Phoenix Park on Sunday 26^th August are currently being finalised and will be available in the coming months. Both are free, but ticketed, events. Children up to 17 are free to all events but remember, all pilgrims, adults and children, will need tickets for every event they attend.

This is not like the 1979 Papal Visit when you 'just turned up'!
YOU MUST HAVE A TICKET

Farewell to Dr. Robert Logan

We wish Dr. Logan well on his retirement from Gilford Health Centre this week.
Dr. Logan has been with us for 31 years and is a very valued member of our community. His pastoral care and personal interest in his patients was appreciated by everyone who was treated by him. He has laughed with us, prayed with us and cried with us. 
His  knowledge of local history is mind-blowing and he is so generous in sharing that knowledge at various historical events.
He will be greatly missed in the surgery but we will still see him around and look forward to his involvement with our Historical Society. 
We wish him many years of health and happiness.

 26th March 2018

Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Bishop McAreavey.

We thank Bishop John for his ministry in our Diocese and wish him good health and happiness in his retirement.

We welcome Bishop Philip Boyce, retired bishop of Raphoe, who will administer our Diocese until the Holy Father appoints a new Bishop.

Bishop Philip began his ministry on Thursday 29th March at the Chrism Mass in Newry Cathedral at 10.30am.

Remembering those in positions of influence as significant decisions are made for the good of all - for we who are birthed and those who need our care as they come to birth.
Let the child who is in the womb and already who is known to God, be afforded her/his right to birth.

Official Family Prayer

God, our Father,

Protect all families with your loving care,
Especially those for whom we now pray:
