[A] Thanks to all who contributed to the Holy Land Collection which was taken up over the last two weekends. It will greatly help the beleaguered Christian community. [B] Diocese of Kilmore ~ Marriage Preparation Courses: It is Diocesan policy that each couple attends an ACCORD Pre-Marriage 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 ~ a course only weeks before your wedding makes little sense! All couples are asked to note this request and make suitable & timely arrangements. [C] The Diocesan Theology Course takes place during the coming week. [D] Friday next is the First Friday. The sick and housebound will be visited on Friday, Monday & Tuesday. Those concerned will be contacted beforehand to arrange a suitable time and day. ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH, DROMAHAIR. 1.
