Donna kindly sent these on for others to use.
One week on from the conclusion of the World Meeting of Families, the joy of that wonderful occasion together with the visit of Pope Francis continues to ring out in my heart!
During these days there has been so much positive feedback from those who participated in the events at Armagh, the RDS, Croke Park, Knock and Phoenix Park. None of all this could have happened without the support and contribution of our organising teams, helpers and priests, including yourself.
I invite you to a Mass of Thanksgiving in St Patrick’s Cathedral Armagh on Wednesday, 26September at 7.30 p.m. and afterwards to a cup of tea in the Synod Hall. This is a simple opportunity to acknowledge the graces we have all received from the World Meeting of Families and in particular, for me to say thanks to all those who helped at diocesan level to make the World Meeting such a success.
When you have some idea who will be attending, please let Sharon Dunne know. The diocesan choir who helped provided the music in the RDS and Phoenix Park will be singing at our Mass on the 26th – the joy of love, a joy for all God’s family!
I look forward to seeing you there.
With every blessing and kindest regards,
Yours sincerely,
Eamon Martin Archbishop of Armagh
