BISHOP ALAN MCGUCKIAN SJ<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We offer our\u00a0 prayerful congratulations to Bishop Alan who was officially installed as Bishop of Down & Connor last Sunday.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

God our Father, our shepherd and guide, look with love on Alan, your servant. Enrich him with the gifts and virtues of a true apostle for the good of your people. Give him a spirit of courage and right judgement, a spirit of knowledge and love. Help him to be a wise administrator, and a holy priest. May his words and example fill our hearts and minds with the trust of the Gospel. May he, and all those entrusted to his care, come to everlasting life. This we ask through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
