FACEBOOK PAGE : The parish has launched a new facebook page: Parish of Blaris Lisburn. Give it a like to stay up to date with the latest Parish news and events.

Since all believers are bound together by the love of Christ, the dead are not beyond our love.

We are linked to the dead, just as when they were alive; and so our motivation to pray for them is love.

Light a candle in your home, recall the memory of your loved one. Pray God’s peace and rest on their soul. Pray also for yourself that God in His infinite love will give you peace of mind and heart at this time of brokenness and loss in your life.

May the Souls of all the faithful departed Rest in peace

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Be our safeguard against the wickedness
and snares of the Devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl
about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
