World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement inviting you to join in prayer and action for peace and justice.

In March every year over 170 countries join together in a common Day of Prayer. Throughout the year, we come closer in fellowship, understanding and action.

Recent days have seen the first groups of young people across the diocese receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation

Bishop Fintan conferred the sacrament on children from Barryroe on Wednesday 12 February.

The ceremonies continue across the diocese until Friday 4 April. There are a number of ceremonies on most days in order to accommodate the number of candidates and their families.

Almost 3,000 candidates are being presented for the sacrament by their parents and schools.

Blessing of throats with Night Prayer of the Church

Monday 3 February

The intertwined candles we will use are a recent gift of a parishioner purchased from the cathedral of St Blaise, Dubrovnik, where the saint’s remains are buried.
