Weekend Mass, because of a diminishing number of Priests and in an effort to be more effective, we have been urged by the Area Diocesan Pastoral Council to reduce our weekend Masses i.e., 2 instead of 3. At a glance, this might mean on Sundays having Mass at Knockanure at 9.30am and at Moyvane at 11am, Vigil Mass would be dropped. Any input on this is welcome on/before Sunday Nov.20th .
Pastoral Council Meeting will be held on Weds. Nov. 23rd . Please let us know items that need to be addressed, ideally by Nov. 20th .

Prelazia de Miracema do Norte
RESIDENCIA DO BISPO
– Miracema do Norte – Est. de Goias – May 28th 1975
Dear Sister Catherine,
Many thanks for your latest letter. Sorry for the long delay in sending what should have been sent months ago. For the past few months, I have been out in the interior, quite a lot, helping out another priest in trying to form small little communities of committed Christians in some of the places where there are no priests. It was not lack of interest.
I hope the enclosed will give you sufficient info about Miracema and the type of work that you would be asked to do. Being a Religious myself I can assure you that I have nothing in mind that would in any way weaken Religious Life. Quite the contrary, a very definite campaign for vocations to the Religious Life is on in the Prelazia this year and the only sure one is the type of life we lead.
To use the phrase, you heard so often in Brazil: I am always “as ordens” (at your orders) for any further information that you may need. I may be going to the States earlier in June that I had intended and may meet you out there, but I shall certainly look you up in Ireland.
May the Spirit of God bless you all in your deliberations. He knows what is best for us all, once we remain open to His voice, we will accomplish what is best for God’s work. Many thanks for your interest. May God bless you, and till we meet in either Ireland or California.
Yours in Jesus Christ,
+ Jaime, CSsR

SOMALIA: By Courtney Mares
Vatican City, Oct 30, 2022 / 07:00 am
Pope Francis prayed on Sunday that God may “convert the hearts of the violent” after an al-Qaida-affiliated terrorist attack in Somalia.
“As we celebrate Christ’s victory over evil and death, we pray for the victims of the terrorist attack in Mogadishu that killed more than 100 people, including many children. May God convert the hearts of the violent,” Pope Francis said on Oct. 30.
Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud reported that at least 100 people were killed and nearly 300 other people were wounded by two car bombings in the country’s capital on Saturday.
