Pilgrim Statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary
When Mother Mary was in need she was told there was no room at the inn. Can you make a place for her?
We are looking for families to welcome the Pilgrim Statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary into their homes for one week and to pray the Holy Rosary at the statue each day. At the end of the week the statue will continue its pilgrimage to the next family. The statue will be handed into the care of the volunteer families at Sunday mass.
If your family would like to host Mother Mary for a week please get in touch with the parish office by phone to 01 457 2900 or email lucansouthparish@gmail.com. You can also contact Deacon Norvil on (085) 7157887 or email norvilcaguioa@yahoo.ie or contact Deacon Joe.
We can only imagine how happy Mother Mary will be to get your invitation to stay in your home and pray with your family.

Under our Welcome menu you will find links for the Daily Mass Reading which updates every day as well as Sunday Mass Reading for the following Sunday’s mass. It is a great way to be able to read along during mass if you so wish or take time to reflect on the passages during the week and see what message they have for you. One quick note is that if it is a Sunday and you want to see the Gospel for today then click on the Daily Mass Reading link as the Sunday listing will be for the following week.
