Sunday 24th – St Patrick’s Monkstown
Exposition of Blessed Sacrament 4 to 5 pm.
Holy Hour with Benediction – 5 to 6 pm
In response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the Irish Catholic Bishops have designated Sunday, 24 August as a National Day of Prayer and Reflection. Archbishop Farrell is encouraging parishes to pray to unite in prayerful solidarity with the people of Gaza and for a peace and an end to this humanitarian tragedy.
Whether in the parish or in the quiet of your own home, please consider praying for peace:
- Spending time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament
- Praying the Rosary for peace and justice
- Lighting a candle at home or in your parish church
- Making a small personal sacrifice or act of penance
Here in St. Patrick’s Monkstown, we will have Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from 4 to 5 pm for those who wish to visit the church for a short period of silent prayer. From 5 to 6 pm Deacon Eric will lead a guided Holy Hour of scripture, reflection and sacred music, which will conclude with Benediction
