WHAT’S ON…<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

MISSIO IRELAND<\/span> The month of October is traditionally dedicated to the theme of Mission. Mission Sunday will take place next\u00a0 Sunday 19th October. October and World Mission Sunday is a time for the faithful of the world to show their appreciation towards the work of overseas missionaries. \u00a0In his homily at the Mass for the beginning of his pontificate (18th May 2025), Pope Leo XIV spoke about Mission.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur world, wounded by war, violence and injustice, needs to hear the Gospel mes-sage of God\u2019s love, and to experience the reconciling power of God\u2019s grace. In this sense, the Church itself, in all her members, is increasingly called to be a \u2018missionary Church that opens its arms to the world, proclaims the word <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

PRISONS WEEK\u00a0<\/span> Sunday 12th Oct\u2013 Sunday 18th Oct. During this Prisons week, I warmly invite all the faithful across our Diocese to join in prayer for the Prison Parishes of <\/span><\/strong>Hydebank, Maghaberry, and Magilligan. These communities, though behind walls, are very much part of our Church family. On Thursday Oct 16th, I will visit Hydebank Womans Prison and young Offenders College to spend time in prayer with the residents and staff. It is my hope that through our shared prayer, we may bring light, hope and the healing presence of Christ to those who carry heavy burdens. Let us remember\u00a0 that no one is beyond the reach of God\u2019s mercy, and that in this Jubilee Year of Hope, we are called to be instruments of compassion and reconciliation.\u00a0 Bishop Alan Mc Guckian SJ<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

THE PRISONS WEEK PRAYER<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lord, you offer freedom to all people.\u00a0 We pray for those in prison.<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Break the bonds of fear and isolation that exist. Support with your love prisoners and their families and friends, prison staff and all who care.<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Heal those who have been wounded by the actions of others,<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

especially the victims of crime. Help us to forgive one another, to act justly,<\/i> love mercy and walk humbly together with Christ in his strength and in his Spirit, now and every day.<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Amen<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

PRAYER FOR THE MISSIONS<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

God, who would have all His children to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, send forth, we beseech you, laborers into your harvest and grant them with all confidence to preach the Word; that everywhere your Gospel may be heard and glorified, and that all nations may know you, the one True God, and Him whom you have sent, Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord.<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
