CHURCH NOTICES
Prayers for the faithful departed: let us remember in our prayers the repose of the soul of ARCHIBALD CRICHTON. He was the father of Fr Ross Crichton; our neighbour Parish Priest over on Eriskay & South Uist. As we pray for the repose of the soul of Archibald we extend our prayers of love and support to Fr Ross and his mum and his brother & family. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
World Day of prayer for the sick: let us remember all who are sick and housebound and all the dying in our prayers in a special way this coming Tuesday as it is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. Which is World Day of the Sick. As we all know Lourdes is a very special place of Pilgrimage for the sick and dying. We remember those within the island who are unwell just now. May Our Lady, St. Bernadette, all God’s Angels & Saints intercede in our humble prayers for the sick and all who are suffering.
New Sunday Missal: In Castlebay & Northbay Churches there are some new Sunday Missals for sale. The red Missal is £20 and the burgundy Missal is £30.
Jubilee Year Deanery Masses: It is hoped that within the Diocese there will be “Deanery Masses of Hope” celebrated at different points in the year. We have three Deaneries in the Diocese. Therefore three Masses will be organised with Bishop Brian.
Diocesan Jubilee Cross: In the Cathedral Bishop Brian has blessed a special Jubilee Cross for the Diocese. It is planned that this Cross will do a tour of the Diocese over the coming Jubilee year and it will be welcomed into many of our churches throughout the Diocese.
Diocesan Pilgrimage to Rome: for those interested Fr Stan in Morar Parish is looking into a Diocesan pilgrimage to Rome in September of this year. Possible dates are 22nd-26th September. More details will be announced by Fr Stan.
