RENEWAL OF THE FAITH IN IRELAND

As a group, we are about to undertake a period of prayer for the Renewal of the Catholic Faith in Ireland. This period will last for approximately a year beginning on 21st August 2007, the Feast of Our Lady of Knock, and end on the same date in 2008. We are inviting all those who wish join us spiritually to do so by offering prayers daily for this intention.

There are many ways you can join us on our mission:

Recitation of the Rosary or Divine Mercy Chaplet

Offering Masses

Or just adding a small intention into your daily prayers

As part of this mission we will be praying for a visit by His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI to our country, hopefully in the near future! It is our hope that a visit from the Holy Father, with his message of the Gospel, would rekindle the faith of the Irish people. The theme of the visit of Pope John Paul II to Ireland in 1979 was 'Ireland - Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful'...May it always be so!

We are entrusting this special year of prayer to our Patron, John Paul II

We will also entrust these prayers to Our Lady of Knock and St Oliver Plunkett.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF YOUR PRAYERS!

IRELAND - ALWAYS FAITHFUL!
