We encourage every family to prepare a small prayer space:

• Holy water – to bless ourselves daily

• A bowl of sand – symbol of Jesus’ forty days in the desert

---

🙏 Daily Lenten Prayer

Today Lord, I choose life,
I choose your love and the challenge to live it and share it,
I choose faith, accepting you as Lord and God,
I choose to let go of some part of my burdens,
Day by day, handing them over to you.
I choose to take hold of your strength and power
Ever more deeply in my life.
May I come to Easter with a heart open to dying with you
And rising to new life, day by day.
Amen.

Diocesan Congress

Archbishop Eamon Martin and Bishop Michael Router, the Bishops of the Archdiocese of Armagh, have asked all parishioners to pray for the success of the upcoming Diocesan Congress.
A special Congress Prayer has been written, and copies are available at the back of each Church — please take one home and say it as often as possible.

The Bishops also wish to hear from parishioners directly.
Fr. Vinod invites everyone to a Parish Meeting on Monday 14th October at 7:00pm in Kilcurry Resource Centre to share your ideas and reflections.
If you cannot attend, you can still contribute by placing your response in the box provided in the Church over the next few weeks.

Bishops’ Question:

What can we do together — in our schools, homes, parishes and in the Archdiocese of Armagh — to help young people and families grow in faith and get to know Jesus in a real and personal way?
