Mass Intentions July 19th/20th
Week Ahead
.
Tuesday 22
- St Mary
Magdalene. Mary stood by the cross
with Jesus; with two other women she discovered the empty tomb;
she was granted an appearance of the
Risen Lord early on the same day, from which incident she has been
described as 'apostle to the apostles'. The
Gospels give no warrant for
identifying her with the 'woman who was a sinner' who anointed
Christ's feet (Luke 7:37) or with
Mary the sister of Martha (John 12:3).
Friday 25 - St James, apostle. James, son of Zebedee and brother of John, was one of the first Apostles to die for Christ. His shrine is at Compostela in Spain.
Blessing of KilloughterGraves The annual Blessing of graves in Killoughter cemetery will be taking place on Saturday August 2 at 3:00pm WORDS OF WISDOM Trust in God but lock your car ! Great love and great achievements involve great risk. Silence is sometimes the best answer !
A ship in harbour is safe,
but that is not what ships are built for.

Vocations Icon The Diocesan Vocations office has commissioned Ireland’s leading Iconographers, Sr. Aloysius McVeigh, a Mercy Sister, from Derry, to provide an appropriate icon which would become a focus for prayer. The icon based on a drawing of the shroud of Turin is located on the Altar of the Sacred Heart. It will be with us for a few days.
