On Friday 1st July we celebrate the Feast of St Oliver Plunkett, one of our national Saints and Patron Saint of our Diocese. St Oliver was Archbishop of Armagh from 1669 until his execution at Tyburn in 1681, dying a martyr’s death. Throughout his years the Catholic faith suffered relentless persecution and yet St Oliver gave all his energy to caring for his people throughout the land, despite the cost, and gave his very life for that faith he held so dear. On this day we turn to him in our prayer, asking that he may give us all a share in his courage to face the difficulties of life and also a share in his faith that God is always with us in life and will never leave us to be alone. The Relic of St Oliver will be in the Church for 10am Mass on Friday morning and will be available for Veneration afterwards.
With best wishes – Fr O’Neill
