Scotland: Bishop to pray Rosary live on Facebook

Oct 15th, 2018

Bishop John Keenan, Bishop of the Paisley diocese in Scotland, will be praying the Rosary LIVE on the FreePrayerUK Facebook page on Wednesday 17th October 2018, starting at 9.30pm/2130 BST (GMT+1).

October is the Month of the Holy Rosary and Pope Francis has asked all Catholics to pray for the Church at this time of trial.

Paisley Diocese was created out of the Diocese of Glasgow in May 1947. Bishop Keenan was appointed the fifth Bishop of Paisley by His Holiness Pope Francis on 8 February 2014. He was consecrated by Archbishop Philip Tartaglia - his predecessor in the diocese - on the Feast of St Joseph, 19 March 2014.

FreePrayerUK is a Facebook page that was set up in Lent 2016, by a Catholic family with two young children. Its mission is simple: to pray each night at bedtime for the founders' own family, for friends and for the needs of those who share their intentions on the Page. This way, the children can learn about compassion and community, and the 'virtual community' can come together in prayer.

FreePrayerUK's Facebook page carries live feeds of prayer, with audio and visual images.
