REDEMPTORIS MATER SEMINARY BUILDING COLLECTION
The Archdiocese of Armagh has currently three priests ordained from the Redemptoris Mater Seminary. The students come from all over the world and will be incardinated in our Archdiocese. The seminary building is too small and needs to be expanded. We have been asked if we could help and take up a collection to fund a new building. Next weekend (Sunday 5 March) the seminarians will attend all the Masses to introduce themselves and lead the music. Envelopes will be available for collection after communion.
TURKEY & SYRIA EARTHQUAKE APPEAL – A number of people have given donations towards the disaster in Turkey & Syria. If you wish to make a donation, please leave in an envelope marked ‘Turkey & Syria Appeal’, this will be forwarded to Trocaire.
