POPE LEO XIV – Heavenly Father, we thank you for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in choosing Pope Leo as the new shepherd of your Church. Grant him wisdom, courage and compassion. Strengthen him with your grace as he leads the faithful in truth and love. May his words and actions reflect your will, bringing unity, peace, and renewal to the church and the world. May he be a faithful servant, a beacon of hope, and a true father to all. Amen.
SAFEGUARDING MONTH – May 2025 Pope Francis reminded us that, ‘in the Confiteor, we ask forgiveness not only for the wrong we have done, but also for the good we have failed to do.’ In the past the Catholic Church in Ireland failed in its duty to protect children and young people. Church policies have focused on establishing consistent standards to prevent abuse and assist the church on its journey to learn from the mistakes of the past and ensure that children’s safety is a core part of its mission.
