SACRED HEART NOVENA; From the 3rd to 11th of June we will celebrate a Novena to the Sacred Heart. Speakers from around the Country and from the Parish will be relayed on a big screen as they share with us each evening, images/ideas/challenges. It promises to be different and enriching.
Many years ago widow Murphy visited me on day three of the Sacred Heart Novena in the Western Road, Cork. She told me she had two sons, one a gardener and the other a potter. The gardener had asked her to pray for rain to water his plants while the potter had asked her to pray for sunshine to dry his pots. “What should I do, Fr. Kevin?” she pleaded. “You will do best to leave it in the hands of the Sacred Heart”, I replied. Our Novena will be great as we leave all things in the hands of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Please come and allow the touch of Jesus to bless, enrich and guide you to new beginnings.
PADRE Pio & 1st Friday evening Mass at 6;45, Listowel, intentions ring Fr. Martin 087-2589682.
