A PASTORAL MESSAGE IN THE LIGHT OF THE REFERENDUM RESULT As the result of the Referendum on Friday May 25 th sinks in there is great disappointment among pro-life people. Our Irish Constitution now goes silent regarding the unborn and their human right to life. Those who campaigned for the right to life of the unborn left no stone unturned. We owe them a debt of gratitude. We think especially of those from our own communities. There is need for all to reflect for a time on the campaign and the results. There is a need also for emotions to settle and heal. The past two months have been very difficult for those campaigning and for the country as a whole. The pro-life task of the Church in Ireland is to continue to lead hearts and minds to always choose and cherish life. In the words of Pope Francis BISHOP RAY GIVES A PASTORAL VISIT TO OUR SCHOOLS: Bishop Ray wishes to thank the staff and children of both Lyre & Duagh National Schools for the warm welcome he received last Wednesday in both of our schools. The children were just excellent. Well done all and thanks to everybody for their co-operation. KERRY DIOCESE HELPING FINANCE WMF 2018 The final collection to help finance the World Meeting of Families will be taken up at all Masses on the weekend of Sunday June 17 th. I thank you for your generous contribution to the previous collections. I ask you to consider being especially generous to this collection. With the visit of Pope Francis and the need to plan to accommodate over half a million at the final Mass (hopefully huge numbers from our diocese will be present), costs are enormous. A figure of twenty million Euro is being mentioned. It is vital that each diocese makes a significant contribution. You can donate via the Masses on that weekend or you might consider putting your contribution in an envelope and marking it WMF 2018and bringing it with you to church any weekend. This collection deserves a special effort on all our parts. In hosting WMF 2018 Ireland is doing a great service for the whole Church and the world, reminding us all in the words of Pope Saint John Paul: The future of humanity passes by way of marriage and the family.
