A Eucharistic Prayer Vigil for Vocations to the Priesthood, Permanent Diaconate and Religious Life will take place in Good Shepherd Church, Ormeau Road, Belfast on Thursday 17th November 2016 from 7.30pm – 10pm. The Vigil will conclude with Mass at 9pm. In his message for Vocations Sunday, Pope Francis said that ‘Vocations are born in prayer and from prayer; and only through prayer can they persevere and bear fruit.” May we take this up this invitation to come together as a diocese to pray for vocations to the priesthood, permanent diaconate and religious life.
ST AGNES’ CHORAL SOCIETY 60TH ANNIVERSARY St Agnes’ Choral Society was founded in 1957 by the late Fr Black and a number of musical enthusiasts from the local community. Over the years the Society has welcomed members from a wealth of backgrounds, and during adverse times became a peaceful and effective meeting point from both communities within Northern Ireland. The company would like to extend an invitation to parishioners and members of the local community to join us at our 60th Anniversary Ball which is being held at the Ramada Hotel, on Friday 25th November. To purchase tickets please contact our company secretary at: agneschoral@gmail.com or contact 07753222003
