WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES 2018 – THE COUNTDOWN IS ON – 345 DAYS TO GO!<\/b> The 9th World Meeting of Families [WMOF18] will be held in Ireland from 21st – 26th August 2018. What exactly is a World Meeting of Families? The WMOF was established by Pope Saint John Paul II in 1994. Held every 3 years, this major international event brings together families from across the world to celebrate, pray and reflect upon the central importance of marriage and the family as cornerstones of our lives, of society and of the Church. During the next 12 months a programme of preparation for WMOF18 will be rolled out in our parish. There will be something for all ages. Details will be featured in the Bulletin. We are all invited to get involved in the preparations. First and foremost, please pray for the success of the WMOF and also keep in mind the intentions of Pope Francis and pray for all families here in Ireland and around the world.<\/p>\n
