Message from Fr. James

Below is the information I received from the Cardinal yesterday.
Keep safe.
With best wishes,
Fr. James

Extract form the Cardinal’s email…………………

‘Now two small suggestions.

An initiative has been launched (one of many!) to invite Christians to put a poster in their windows as a sign of faith and trust in the Lord in these troubled times. It is attractive and obtainable at this link: www.cte.org.uk/prayersofhope.

Perhaps you could pass on this link to your parishioners and suggest they might print a poster and show it in the street window of their homes. It could well encourage those who are downhearted.

Finally, I have received messages expressing concern about those not on the internet and the lack of opportunities for them to follow the celebration of Mass. One tenacious correspondent has found out that regular celebrations of Mass broadcast by RTE Radio are accessible here on a standard radio, on 252 Long Wave. Perhaps this too could be included in communication with your parishioners, asking those who receive the information to share it verbally with any people who, through lack of internet links, would otherwise not receive it. I understand that the full quota of Holy Week ceremonies will be broadcast on RTE. More detail is available from roger.childs@rte.ie’.
