PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA
FEAST DAY FRIDAY, 13TH MAY
O Most Holy Virgin Mary,
Queen of the most holy Rosary,
You were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima and reveal a glorious message.
We implore you, inspire in our hearts a fervent love for the recitation of the Rosary.
By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption that are recalled therein may we obtain the graces and virtues that we ask, through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer.
Amen.

CONNECT—FAITH GATHERING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE (18 TO 35)
On Sunday next, 22nd May, young people from all over the Diocese of Cork & Ross will join together with Bishop Fintan Gavin for a special event called Connect. It will take place in the Student Centre in UCC from 2.30pm. The event promises to be a wonderful gathering of prayer, music, food, testimonies and sharing.
To register for this event visit www.corkandross.org.
THE SYNOD
Pope Francis has convened a special opportunity for the people of God to discuss together how best to move forward in the years ahead. It involves listening to people and groups. Bishop Fintan has initiated this process in the Dioceses of Cork and Ross.
There are three ways in which people are invited to take part and contribute. (1) There will be a gathering of people from 24 parishes across the Diocese to pray, listen & discern on Sunday next, 22nd May. (2) Everyone is invited to respond through an online questionnaire. It is on synod.corkandross.org. It is open to everyone until 24th May. (3) There will also be discussions with various groups. Bishop Fintan wishes as many as possible to take part. Please read more about it on the Cork & Ross Diocesan website. The responses will then be forwarded to a National Gathering to take place next month.
