Lourdes 1858 – 2008: (150 Years)
On Monday, 11th February, the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, there will be a special Mass at 7:30pm. The Rosary will be recited before Mass.

Our Lady appeared to St Bernadette for the first time on this day 150 years ago. It is World Day of the Sick also. The Sacrament of the Sick will be administrated to the Sick and Elderly during the Mass. After Mass there will be Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and a short period of quiet prayer.

We hope as many as possible will honour the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on this special day. At least 30,000 pilgrims are expected in Lourdes for the 11th February.

Lectio Divina: A Group discussion of the Readings for the forthcoming Sunday is held every Wednesday night in The Presentation Brothers’ House opposite St Joseph’s Church at 8pm. This meeting is especially recommended for the Readers at the Masses. Transport home is available for those who desire it. All welcome.

The Annual Collection for Accord: Last week’s collection amounted to €2,193. Thanks to all those who contributed so generously.
