RECOMMISSIONING OF MUSIC MINISTERS will take place on Sunday 23rd November at 12 noon Mass.

Many people offer spiritual support to a relation who is struggling because of alcohol or an addiction
problem. Parishioners who wish to take a short-term Pioneer Pledge for the month of the Holy Souls
are invited to visit www.pioneers.ie/pray.

Pray daily: “I promise in honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary
to abstain from all alcohol during the month of November”.

Our Christmas appeal launches this week with cards on sale in the porch after Mass, as well as in the Pastoral Centre throughout the week.

This year, to allow us to help as many families as possible, we ask that you donate non-perishable food / toiletries / gift vouchers (see tags on the Giving Tree for preferred stores). Money is of course always greatly appreciated as we can then direct it where the need is greatest. We kindly ask that you do not donate toys, as vouchers will give people more flexibility. Thank you for your continued support in Lisburn as always – it is greatly appreciated.
