Holy Hour for Peace
2023-10-27 17:00 - 18:00 | St Brigid’s Church, 84 Tullyah Road Belleeks, Co Armagh, BT35 7QP
We join Pope Francis as he prays for Peace in the World.
Pope Francis wrote

“Today too, dear brothers and sisters, our thoughts turn to Palestine and Israel. The number of victims is rising and the situation in Gaza is desperate. Please, let everything possible be done to avoid a humanitarian disaster.

The possible widening of the conflict is disturbing, while so many war fronts are already open in the world. May weapons fall silent! Let us heed the cry for peace of populations, of the people, of the children! Brothers and sisters, war does not solve any problem: it sows only death and destruction, foments hate and proliferates revenge. War cancels out the future. I urge believers to take just one side in this conflict: that of peace. But not with words — with prayer, with total dedication.

With this in mind, I have decided to call for a day of fasting and prayer, of penance, on Friday 27 October, to which I invite sisters and brothers of the various Christian denominations, those belonging to other religions and all those who have at heart the cause of peace in the world, to join in as they see fit. That evening, at 6 p.m., at Saint Peter’s, we will spend an hour of prayer, in a spirit of penance, to implore peace in our time, peace in this world. I ask all the particular Churches to participate by arranging similar activities involving the People of God.”

Feast of All Saints Day - Mass
2023-11-01 10:00 - 10:30 | St Teresa’s Church, 61 Tullyherron Road Tullyherron Mountnorris, Co Armagh, BT60 2UF
All Saints’ Day is a solemn holy day of the Catholic Church celebrated annually on November 1. The day is dedicated to the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven.
Although millions, or even billions of people may already be saints, All Saints’ Day observances tend to focus on known saints –that is those recognized in the canon of the saints by the Catholic Church.
All Saints’ Day is a Catholic Holy Day of Obligation, meaning all Catholics are required to attend Mass on that day, unless they have an excellent excuse, such as serious illness.
All Saints’ Day was formally started by Pope Boniface IV, who consecrated the Pantheon at Rome to the Virgin Mary and all the Martyrs on May 13 in 609 AD. Boniface IV also established All Souls’ Day, which follows All Saints.

All Soul's Day - Mass for the Deceased
2023-11-02 19:00 - 19:30 | St Malachy’s Church, 76 Ballymoyer Road Whitecross, Co Armagh, BT60 2LA
We remember those people who have died within the last year in our Parish.
(Families of those who died since this time last year are asked to contact the parish office to confirm they will be carrying a candle to represent their loved one.)
About Holy Souls Day
Indeed, the Church in its pilgrim members, from the very earliest days of the Christian religion, has honoured with great respect the memory of the dead; and ” because it is a holy and a wholesome thought to prayer for the dead that there may be loosened from their sins” (2 Mac 12, 46) she offers her suffrages for them. These consist, primarily, in the celebration of the holy sacrifice of the Eucharist, and in other pious exercises, such as prayers for the dead, alms deeds, works of mercy, and the application of indulgences to the souls of the faithfully departed. ( Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, 251.)
