Twenty Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time 2nd October 2022


Oblate Missionaries collection

We welcome Fr. Tom McCabe OMI who will speak at Masses this weekend.

This year the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate have been speaking in parishes throughout Meath Diocese about the Church’s mission in the developing world today and, in particular, the Oblate contribution to that shared mission.

 

The speaker, Fr Tom McCabe has been an Oblate priest since the early 1970s. He works at the Congregation’s Mission Development Office in Dublin from where they support the work of Oblate missionaries living and working in poor communities across the developing world.

 

If you wish to contribute to the work of the Oblate Missionaries, envelopes are available at the back of the church.
