Pilgrims of Hope: “This Jubilee Year…is focused on the theological virtue
of Hope. In a particular way, Mary embodied that virtue through her
trust that God would fulfil his promises. This hope, in turn, gave her the
strength and courage to spend her life willingly for the sake of the
Gospel and abandon herself entirely to God’s will. It has often been said
that the Incarnation first took place in Mary’s heart, before it took place
in her womb. This emphasizes her daily fidelity to God.” Pope Leo XIV, 6
October 2025.
Masses this week: Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday - 9.00am
The Parish SVP will be hosting a family fun day on Saturday, 25 October at 2.00 pm.
Save the date as it promises to be spooktakular!! Please sign your name on the sheet

Mission Sunday 2025 next Sunday, 19th October is Mission Sunday. The annual collection for the
Missions will be taken up at all Masses.
Prisons Week 2025 (12th-18th October): “During this Prisons Week, I warmly invite all the Fatihful
across the Diocese to join in prayer for the Prison Parishes of Hydebank, Magaberry and Magilligan.
These communities, though behind walls are very much part of our Church Family… let us remember
no one is beyond God’s mercy.” Bishop Alan.
Trócaire: Could You Help Share the True Spirit of Christmas? Each year, volunteers in parishes across
the north of Ireland set up a small stall after Masses to sell Trócaire’s Gifts of Change — meaningful
gifts that make a real difference to families living in poverty around the world. We provide everything
you need including training and support. All we ask is a little time and a big heart. Last Christmas, 50
parishes took part — and we’d love to grow that number even more this year! If you would like to find
out more about how you can help, please email Mark at mark.mcmahon@trocaire.org or call 028
9080 8030.
