The Catholic Marriage Enrichment Programme helps couples enhance their communication and deepen their love for each other. The weekend experience provides a broader and deeper understanding of the sacrament of marriage. Sacramentally married couples are invited to participate. While faith is an important aspect of the experience, the focus of the weekend is on the realities and challenges of married life. The next Marriage Enrichment Weekend is at Knock from Fri 28 March to Sun 30 March 2025 - the best gift you’ll ever give to each other. Book at www.marriageencounter.ie

A Prayer for those getting ready for Confirmation

Spirit of God, grant me: the gift of WISDOM to see the world through your eyes, the gift of COUNSEL to make difficult decisions, the gifts of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING to use my mind to know you and to love you, the gift of FORTITUDE to have the courage to live in the faith despite the difficulties and disappointments, the gift of PIETY to be able to express my special love and commitment to you, and the right kind of AWESOME FEAR that makes me pause to wonder and revere God’s love. Amen.
