Bishop Toal and 70 others will represent our diocese at this important event which will host a visit from Pope Francis. The meeting will explore the theme “The Gospel of the Family: Joy for the world” and what it means for families and the Church today. We are asked to join in a Novena of prayer during the event, beginning on Saturday 18th August and concluding Sunday 26th August. We will pray the Novena at the end of each Mass. Please take a copy and pray together with your family at home. Prayer cards are also available. Bishop Toal invites couples who are celebrating a significant anniversary to join him in a Mass of Thanksgiving in Motherwell Cathedral on Wednesday 19th September at 7pm. Please put your names on the sheet on the notice board if you would like to go.
