Diocesan News
Pope’s Prayer Intention for April: Pope Leo XIV has urged Catholics across the globe to join him in April in praying for priests in crisis. He released the monthly “Pray with the Pope” video on Tuesday. In his prayer, the Pope entrusted all priests into the Father’s hands, especially those going through moments of crisis, “when loneliness weighs heavily, when doubt clouds their hearts, and when exhaustion seems stronger than hope”. The video and prayer can be found here.
Vocations: Please keep our seminarians and those discerning a vocation to priesthood in your prayers. If you know of anyone interested in finding out more about becoming a priest, please ask them to contact the Vocations team, Fr Séamus or Fr Bill, at vocations@dublindiocese.ie or bill.oshaughnessy@dublindiocese.ie.
