25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CARMELITES
IN TERMONBACCA
You are invited to a Mass of thanksgiving to honour
the silver jubilee of the Carmelite Fathers coming
to Derry. It will be celebrated today, Sunday, in
Long Tower at 4 o’clock. The Bishops of the
diocese and many Carmelites priests will be in attendance
to honour the sterling work done in Termonbacca down
the years.
On the 9th June it was exactly 25 years since the
foundation of the Carmelites in Derry. We celebrate
this quarter century with gratitude for the spiritual
presence of the Carmelite Community among us and the
untiring service they have provided to the city and
diocese. Since Termonbacca itself is geographically
part of Long Tower Parish we are delighted to host
the Carmelite Fathers this afternoon. Refreshments
afterwards in Termonbacca. All welcome!
THE PARISH PILGRIMAGE TO ROME is
“in full flight”. We wish Monsignor McCanny
and our parishioners a most fulfilling week. They
return home on Friday (3 August). Buon viaggio!
PLEASE PRAY for all the couples
getting married this year. They are in preparation
for a God-given vocation and need God’s help
to prepare well and sustain the commitment they are
making. Congratulations to those who have already
celebrated the sacrament. P.S. A woman told her husband
that he could buy her any gift so long as it contained
diamonds. So he bought her a pack of cards!
GOING ON HOLIDAY? Make sure God
goes with you. The obligation for Sunday Mass still
applies.
