Thought for the Week 

“Each of you has a personal vocation which He has given you for your own joy and sanctity. When a person is conquered by the fire of His gaze, no sacrifice seems too great to follow Him and give Him the best of ourselves. This is what the saints have always done, spreading the light of the Lord … and transforming the world into a welcoming home for everyone.” ― Pope Benedict XVI

Mass of Chrism
Bishop Kevin will celebrate the Mass of Chrism on Wednesday 12th August at 4.00pm in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Sligo.  As this is the Mass at which the priests of the diocese renew their commitment to their priestly ministry, the majority of places available under the Covid-19 restrictions will already be    taken.  We do wish to invite as many people as possible to join us in prayer as we bless the Oils which will be used in the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Orders and the Sick over the coming months.  You can join the Mass online at www.sligocathedral.ie
