October has always traditionally been a month set aside for Marian Devotion, and this year we will once again mark this month with October Devotions on Sunday evenings at 6.00pm in St Mary and St Joseph’s Church, consisting of rosary and benediction with the Blessed Sacrament. We’re all familiar with all the major shrines of Marian Devotion which can become a focus for all those who are suffering any need or woe in their lives, with time offered in Pilgrimage to give worship and pray God’s help and blessing. In something of this spirit, the Anointing of the Sick will be available for all those who wish to receive it immediately after Devotions on Sunday 1st October. The Sacrament is for all those who are sick and suffering whether it be in body or mind, it offers the grace of God’s help, His comfort, and His hope that all those who receive it may have the strength and courage to persevere in life with the assurance that God is with them no matter what difficulties they face. If you or anyone you know would like to receive this Sacrament, please do come along on that evening when we will offer brief prayers for all those most in need of God’s help at this time.
With best wishes – Fr O’Neill
