Parish Announcements
Remembering Our Loved Ones During November
During the month of November, we encourage all parishioners to make an extra effort to attend Mass as we remember and pray for our loved ones who have gone before us.
Remembrance Mass – Sunday 15th November
Our special Remembrance Mass will take place on Sunday 15th November at 6.00pm in St. Brigid’s Church, Kilcurry.
Light refreshments will be served afterwards in Kilcurry Resource Centre. All are welcome.
St. Carlo Acutis – Exhibition of Eucharistic Miracles
The international Exhibition of Eucharistic Miracles of the World, designed by St. Carlo Acutis, will be on display in St. Brigid’s Oratory, Faughart, on:
- Monday 16th November: 12 noon – 4.00pm
- Tuesday 17th November: 12 noon – 4.00pm
St. Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006 at just 15 years of age, created this internationally recognised exhibition, which has been approved by the Vatican.
To honour this special occasion, Mass will be celebrated in St. Brigid’s Oratory at 12 noon on both Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th November.
Everyone is welcome to visit the exhibition and attend Mass.
Week of Witness for Persecuted Christians – 15th–22nd November
One in ten Christians, approximately 220 million people, live in countries where they are persecuted for their faith.
The charity Aid to the Church in Need, which works to support persecuted Christians, is organising a Week of Witness from 15th to 22nd November to highlight their plight.
Parishioners are particularly encouraged to pray for the suffering Church on Red Wednesday, 18th November.
Further information is available from Aid to the Church in Need.
