[B] Diocese of Kilmore ~ Marriage Preparation Courses: It is Diocesan policy that each couple attends an ACCORD Pre-Marriaqe Course. Facilitators giving these courses undergo continued in -service training and supervision. And the sacramental aspect of marriage receives appropriate attention.

All couples are asked to note this request and make suitable& timely arrangements. Contact ACCORD in the Pastoral Centre, Cavan at 049 4375004 for courses available in the Diocese of Kilmore. Courses available monthly to May, plus October & November 2011.

Believers not only speak of Jesus but make Jesus visible in every corner of the earth. As many as 1,0% dioceses in Mission territories are heavily dependent on the Mission Sunday Collection. The money raised by the Universal Church on Mission Sunday is made available in its entirety through the Universal Solidarity Fund to the poorest and neediest Missions. Your contribution on Mission Sunday is valued and needed. Thank you for your generosity.
