Ireland: National Prayer Vigil for expectant mothers & babies


Next Saturday 4 May will see a national Vigil of Prayer for Mothers and their Unborn Babies taking place at Our Lady's Shrine in Knock, Co Mayo. The theme of this Vigil will be 'Choose Life: We Cherish Them Both' and it is supported by the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference.

This special liturgical event will begin at 1pm with a Rosary Procession and will conclude with Mass in the Basilica at 3pm. The main celebrant for the Mass will be Cardinal Seán Brady, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, and the homilist will be Bishop Brendan Leahy, Bishop of Limerick. A blessing for expectant mothers who are present will be given during the Mass.

Parishioners from around the country have been invited to attend the Rosary and Mass. For further details on the 'Choose Life: We Cherish Them Both' national Vigil of prayer, see: www.chooselife2013.ie which contains personal video testimonies and special prayers dedicated to protecting the unborn.
