St Peregrine Mass for the sick will take place at 7.30pm on Wednesday 6th March in St Aidan’s Church, Butlersbridge

Ever wondered about the reasons behind our actions during Mass? Curious about the true significance of it all and the origins of the Mass itself?  Have you ever heard someone say, "I'm not getting much from Mass"? Maybe the real question is, "What am I contributing to Mass? Am I genuinely involved, or just an observer?"

You are warmly invited to join Bishop Martin and members of the Kilmore Diocesan Pastoral Development Team on a unique three-week online series to explore these questions and more with videos explaining the different parts of the Mass, interactive discussions, personal stories, and an opportunity to ask questions. The sessions are continuing on Wednesday evenings: Wednesday 6th and 13th  March at 7.30pm. Each session lasts an hour and a half.  Everyone is most welcome! 

To register, please send your name and email address to pastoralcentre@kilmorediocese.ie

Mary’s Meals is a registered charity: 20061920 CHY16897. 

Thank You.

Ever wondered about the reasons behind our actions during Mass? Curious about the true significance of it all and the origins of the Mass itself?  Have you ever heard someone say, "I'm not getting much from Mass"? Maybe the real question is, "What am I contributing to Mass? Am I genuinely involved, or just an observer?"

You are warmly invited to join Bishop Martin and members of the Kilmore Diocesan Pastoral Development Team on a unique three-week online series to explore these questions and more with videos explaining the different parts of the Mass, interactive discussions, personal stories, and an opportunity to ask questions. The sessions will run on three Wednesday evenings: Wednesday 28th Feb, 6th and the 13th of March at 7.30pm. Each session will start at 7:30 pm. and last an hour and a half.  Everyone is most welcome!  To register, please send your name and email address to pastoralcentre@kilmorediocese.ie

In acknowledging how we have benefitted from science and technology Pope Francis calls for responsible development, regulation, and oversight of AI (Artificial Intelligence) technologies. He reminds us that the measure of true humanity lies in how we treat the least among us and he expresses the hope that AI development may contribute to human fraternity and world peace.

As we celebrate the example of the Holy Family this weekend may I also encourage you to pray for world peace on Monday, 1st January 2024.

We trust that our prayer at home and in our parishes will bring peace to our troubled world and especially to the Holy Land where God sent his Son, Jesus to be among us.

+Martin Hayes, Bishop of Kilmore.
