Join Pope Francis - Pray the Rosary
Anthony Evans • September 1, 2018
It's official, I have a blog and I know how to use it.
We are invited along with the rest of the world, to pray the Holy Rosary every day, during the entire Marian Month of October. Pope Francis invites all of the faithful to come together in communion and penitence in requesting assistance and help from the Holy Mother of God - Our Lady and St Michael the Archangel against the devil who seeks to separate us from our Church from each other.

Come and join us on the 6th of December from 5.15pm for the upcoming Joel’s Bar evening - Immerse, here at Our Lady of Hal. This is a time for young adults to meet together, be refreshed with the Holy Spirit through worship and prayer ministry and to build community with one another. There will be Mass beforehand and then a talk from an incredible speaker, before some mulled wine and social time! All are welcome so bring a friend, and if not then just bring yourself!! We’ll be diving into the hope that we have in Jesus, who is a sure anchor for the soul, and why the message of Christmas is needed now more than ever!

We hope to run a Confirmation Programme provided there are sufficient candidates. Confirmation, together with Baptism and the Eucharist, completes our initiation into the Church. In this sacrament, we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit to help us live as adult Christians. Young people are normally confirmed in Year 9 or above. Older candidates may be invited to prepare through the RCIA programme. Requirements: 1. A Baptism certificate (if not baptised at Our Lady of Hal) 2. Regular Sunday Mass attendance. 3. Commitment to attend all preparation sessions 4. Choosing a saint’s name for Confirmation . 5. A practising Catholic sponsor (aged 16+, not a parent). The Confirmation Mass is usually celebrated by the Bishop during the Easter season. If you wish to apply, the candidate is to e-mail the parish priest: markdunglinson@rcdow.org.uk (copying in your parent or guardian) and explain why you wish to be confirmed. Closing date: 15th December 2025.
