Today is World Mission Sunday! Today we come together for a truly incredible celebration of solidarity & unity within our Church - World Mission Sunday! Today, every single parish worldwide - & YOU - share what you can so the life-transforming work of missionaries overseas can continue. Today, through your prayers & contributions, you are fully appreciating the dedication of our missionaries who live & work in communities that are struggling & often war-torn. World Mission Sunday is coordinated by ‘World Missions Ireland’, originally known as the Pontifical Mission Societies & the Church’s official charity for overseas mission. It is part of a worldwide network of over 120 charities. Many of the international offices go by the name ‘Missio’. World Missions Ireland & their fellow charities ensure that today’s contributions are distributed justly to where the need is greatest within our Universal Church. Today, your prayers & generosity are helping spread the peace & love of Christ. If you have already given, we send our heartfelt thanks. If you have yet to give, please dig a little deeper & share what you can. You can donate at any of the Masses on Mission Sunday weekend or to donate €4 you can text the word ‘Mission’ to 50300. (Texts cost €4. World Missions Ireland will receive a minimum of €3.60.). Helpline 076 680 5278. Or call us Monday - Friday on 01 497 2035 to donate over the phone.

WEEKEND MASSES: From 1st January 2019 there will be one Saturday vigil Mass at 8pm (as usual), but there will only be one Sunday morning Mass, this will alternate each month for the foreseeable future at 10am. Many areas throughout the country have lost Masses, had churches closed or parishes amalgamated, none of this was due, however, to lack of vocations or shortage of priests, but was caused by lack of a congregation.

The Pro Life Campaign has described as "obscene" the setting aside of €12 million in the budget for the initial roll out of provision of abortion in Ireland. The Government made clear that the €12 million contained in the budget is not the total cost envisaged annually for abortions but just an initial roll out cost.
Commenting on the news, Eilís Mulroy of the Pro Life Campaign said: "It is obscene that €12 million of taxpayers' money has been set aside for one reason & one reason only – to end the lives of unborn babies.
"Minister Harris keeps talking about his commitment to ensuring a 'safe, woman centred approach' as though the purpose of legal abortion was to save women's lives. Simon Harris knows perfectly well that that's not the case. The €12 million will be spent not on improving healthcare provision in Ireland but on destroying innocent human life.
"Minister Harris can engage in whatever semantic gymnastics he wishes but ultimately nothing can disguise the reality that the new law he is introducing is a cold & clinical attack on unborn human life. We were told that "choice" & "compassion" would be the outcome of removing the Eighth Amendment but this news is another stark reminder of what the referendum was really about."
