“Animals are entrusted to man’s stewardship; he must show them kindness”
The Catechism of the Catholic Church

A Mass will be offered for those who have experienced loss of a child. Spiritual healing is necessary after the loss of a child. The Catholic Sacraments of Reconciliation & Eucharist help to facilitate healing through fully knowing God’s love and mercy. Reconciliation & Adoration from 4.30pm.

Along with the healing process, counselling is often necessary. You may want to address grief at some stage. Fr Tony Dunn can refer you to an experienced counsellor if you wish. For more information contact: Brenda Brightwell 027 641 5615
