Diocesan News
The Plight of Christians in the Holy Land
As you are aware, many parishioners continue to care deeply about the plight of their Christian brothers and sisters in the Holy Land. Attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinian Christian communities in the West Bank, especially in the historic village of Taybeh, have escalated significantly, placing increasing pressure on families to leave. Earlier this year, Pope Leo XIV assented to the creation of 'Friends of the Order' within the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. The purpose is to allow those who share our concern for the Holy Land to be associated with aspects of the Order’s mission, without requiring full investiture into the Order. By extending this outreach, it creates a broader opportunity for parishioners to express and bear witness to their faith through charity and solidarity with Christians in the Holy Land.
(Please see Posters on the Noticeboard for more information).
Meath Diocesan Choir
The Diocese of Meath is blessed in having a Diocesan Choir who sing at many major Diocesan events. The membership is comprised of people from throughout the Diocese, most of whom sing in their Parish Choir. This means that parish choirs are significantly supported by the Diocesan Choir in terms of repertoire.
At present, there are 87 registered members coming from 38 different parishes and churches throughout the diocese. The Director of the choir is Jim Walsh with Jane Lynch as the Accompanist.
A committee supports the choir and oversees registration, communication, music library, and the logistical details of the choir’s liturgical engagements. Regarding repertoire, the choir performs a wide range of Hymns, Psalms, Gospel acclamations, Mass settings, and seasonal/festive pieces.
Participation in the Diocesan Choir offers members the opportunity to deepen their faith through music, contribute to the prayer and worship of the church, develop their musical skills and build friendships with others who share their love of sacred music.
The Diocesan Choir is now recruiting new members and is hosting two information nights in that regard - Tuesday, 6th October in St. Paul’s Church in Mullingar at 7.30 pm or Monday 12th October in St. Anne’s chapel (attached to Navan Parish Church at 7.30 pm).
