Online Adult & Family Pilgrimage – Saturday April 24th
The online Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage to the International Eucharistic and Marian Shrine at Knock will take place on Saturday April 24th.
For the second year, it will be a virtual pilgrimage. It will include a programme of online workshops from Our Lady of Victories Church, Ballymun Road which can be accessed by webcam commencing at 11.50am. Archbishop Dermot Farrell will address online pilgrims following the Regina Caeli at 12pm. The workshop themes will include Challenge for Families, the Holy Spirit and St Joseph & the Apparition.
After a break for lunch, you are invited to switch to the Knock Shrine webcam at 2.30pm for the rosary. The Pilgrimage Mass will follow immediately afterwards at 3pm and will be celebrated by the Rector of Knock Shrine, Father Richard Gibbons. Our pilgrimage will conclude with an opportunity for quiet prayer with an online visit to the Apparition Chapel.
We hope that you find the pilgrimage to be an inspirational and positive experience. And pray that we may be in a position to gather together in Knock as an Archdiocese for our 2022 pilgrimage.

Please find below the link to a recorded message by Archbishop Dermot Farrell to the parents of children due to receive the sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation this year.
It expresses to them and to parish communities the broad approach which is being taken: there is no pressure to celebrate the sacraments by any given deadline; we should use this time of uncertainty to support families to nurture their children as they journey towards the sacraments whenever they can be safely celebrated; and we are creating supports and resources for parishes to draw on in their accompaniment of families.

Thursday the 11th of February is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, normally the World Day of the Sick. This year the prayer below might be said on the days leading up to Our Lady’s Feast.
Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes,
you appeared at the grotto of Massabielle to Bernadette.
You brought her the radiant light of your smile,
the gentle brightness of your presence,
Day by day you conversed, one person to another.
We, too, come before you, and we humbly pray,
May those who doubt, discover the joy of trust.
May those who despair, sense your loving presence.
Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes,
you said to Bernadette,
“I am the Immaculate Conception”
We pray for sinners. Show them the way of life and truth.
May we discover the joy of God’s forgiveness in our lives
Instil in us a desire for childlike innocence and trust.
You gave birth to Jesus, our Saviour and our brother,
look tenderly on our beautiful but troubled world.
Guide us to the One who is the Source of all hope,
Jesus, your Son, the way, the truth and the life,
Who teaches us to call God Father. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes – pray for us.
St. Bernadette – pray for us.
