50^th International Eucharistic Congress Communion with Christ and with one another

All large celebrations require a great deal of materials and preparation. The 50th International Eucharistic Congress in 2012 is no exception. There are many challenges involved and we want to ensure that the whole Church, both here in Ireland and further afield, will see the pastoral journey and the Congress, as opportunities to deepen our faith in the Eucharist. The third National collection for the Congress will take place on 25th/26th June. Your support, in these difficult economic circumstances is very much appreciated.

National Eucharistic Congress 2011 – Saturday 25th June at Knock: Begins with Morning Prayer at 11am, followed by workshops and the celebration of the Eucharist at 2.30pm.  For more info see www.iec2012.ie

5. For all priests as they celebrate their anniversaries of ordination, that they may experience joy and love in their vocation – we pray especially today for Bishop Bill and Fr. Gerard O’Connell as they celebrate 50 years of ordination, and Fr. Joe Tarrant as he celebrates 25 years of priesthood….Lord in your mercy….hear our prayer.
6. For all who will attend the National Eucharistic Congress. May this pilgrimage lead to a new understanding of the Eucharist in the life of the Church in Ireland today as communion with Christ and with one another. Lord in your mercy … hear our prayer.
7. For all who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith. May they be brought to their heavenly inheritance and share the life of the Trinity. Lord in your mercy … hear our prayer.
