Dromahair -Killargue -Newtownmanor Sunda l$h March 2017-The Third Sunday in Lent Today we celebrate the Third Sunday on our Lenten Journey. On this Third Sunday in Lent, we continue our Pilgrimage in Faith ~ a journey which leads us to the Celebration of the Death & Resurrection of Jesus at Easter ~ our promise of eternal fulfillment. For all of us, may Lent be a time to pray again as a family, a time to re-assess our own lives, to care for body and soul, a time to reach out to people in need too. Trocaire Boxes are available at the back of the church. Please take one! Next Wednesday, 22nd March there will be an early morning Mass in Dromahair Church at 7.00am. During Lent, a volunteer from the congregation might lead the Rosary before Saturday Evening & Sunday morning Masses in all 3 churches.
