Pope Francis in his exhortation about m arr iage and the fam ily says: It is true that many couples, once married, drop out of the Christian community. Often, however, we ourselves do not take advantage of those

occasions when they do return, to remind them of the beautiful ideal of Christian marriage and the support that our communities can offer them. I

think, for example, of the Baptism and First Holy communion of their children. (Paragraph 230)

There is A Family Prayer Space at St. Joseph's Shrine. You can place a prayer or

a petition or the name of someone

you wish to pray for in the box. All these

intentions will be placed before the altar at the 11am

Mass on the 19th of August, just before the WMOF begins.

We offer our condolences

and sympathy to the

family and friends of the

recently deceased:

Maria McCoy

Bernadette Breen

May they rest in peace.

and tried for conspiring against the state. He was martyred on the 1st of July 1681 at Tyburn. During his time as archbishop he

worked to reform the clergy and to make education accessible for as many people as possible. He was canonised in 1975 by Pope
