[A] The Week ofPraver for Christian Unity continues until Tuesday 25th January 2011. The theme for the week comes from the Acts of the Apostles 2:42 describing the first church in Jerusalem: They devoted themselves to the apostles'teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers. [B] Diocese of Kilmore ~ Marriage Preparation Courses: It is Diocesan policy that each couple should attend 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. It is a wise practice to do a course up to a year before the date of your marriage. Doing a course only weeks before your wedding makes little sense! All couplesare 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. [C] Parish Pastoral Council: Meeting this Tuesday night 25th January at 8.30pm in the Depot, Dromahair.
