Drum Apostolic Workers
Drum Apostolic Workers will hold their annual church gate collection this weekend, Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th July at Drum Church. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

Rosary at the Wakehouse
The Rosary will be said on Sunday 3rd August at 3pm at the Wakehouse in Nure, which is on the ancient funeral route from Ardkeenan to Clonmacnoise.

Sick Priests Fund
Annual collection for the Elphin Diocese Fund for sick and retired priests takes place next weekend Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd August. The priests of the diocese contribute, from their own income, most of what is required to support our sick and retired priests. However, the high age profile of our clergy in recent years has placed significant demands on the fund and you are asked to be as generous as your circumstances allow. Sincere thanks and blessings for your kind generosity.

Led by Bishop Kevin Doran takes place on Sunday 17th August, commencing at 2.30pm with the anointing of the sick in the Basilica followed by Mass, Blessed Sacrament and Rosary Procession at 3pm.
