‘This is what the Lord asks of you: only this, to act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God.’Micah 6:8
God our Father,
We thank you for the many gifts you have given us through your Son, Jesus Christ.
During our Parish Mission, we ask your blessing upon our parish family.
Open our hearts and minds to hear your Word.
Help us to welcome one another with love.
May this be a time of deepening faith, healing and renewal for our whole parish community.
Bring comfort to those who are struggling, hope to those who are searching,
And joy to all who seek you.
Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, and St. Martin,
May the Holy Spirit guide us, unite us, and lead us ever closer to you.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Diocese of Derry – Moving Forward Together in Changing Times
A Pastoral Letter from Bishop Donal McKeown
Diocese of Derry
30th November 2025
Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
Advent is a season of expectation. It invites us to wait in joyful hope for the coming of Christ once again into our lives at Christmas. Isaiah, John the Baptist and Mary each listened, discerned and responded, even when the path ahead was unclear. Their hope was grounded in God’s promise, and their witness speaks to us now. Times of change can unsettle us, but they can also purify and strengthen our faith.
