Parish Arrangements for Tickets & Coach Transfer to Papal Mass:
- Tickets have not been issued yet. We have received notification that they should be with us by Tuesday.
- We have an allocation of 100 tickets and coach capacity of 106 passengers. Tickets will be allocated to parishioners who registered their interest first. Their names are posted on the notice board in porch.
- Tickets must be collected on Wednesday 22nd from 8 p.m. in the Parish office.
- The coaches will depart from St. Maur’s Church car park @ 9 a.m. sharp
Unfortunately, by the time the excess demand was expressed all private coach companies had been fully booked and ticket allocation was fully expended
- We have a standby list. Tickets will be offered should any become available.
- We would ask anybody who has tickets they will not be using to bring them to the parish office please, so we can pass them on. Thank you for your co-operation.
Well Done: We also have 2 coaches of parishioners serving at the Papal Mass, in the Choir, as Ministers of the Eucharist and students from St. Joseph’s Secondary School volunteering as stewards.
Thank you also to parishioners for volunteering their services in the RDS & Croke Park. Thanks to our WMOF parish reps. for all their work in this regard.
Well done to them all for volunteering their service.
The WMOF 2018 Pilgrimage Walk:
From Saturday 18th August to Saturday 25th August, pilgrims are invited, in a single day or over the period of the week, to undertake the WMOF2018 Pilgrim Walk. This will involve visiting seven designated churches, spending time in prayer in each of them for a special intention related to families and finishing the visit with the WMOF2018 prayer.
Each pilgrim will be issued with a pilgrim walk passport, which will be stamped at each station, in the ancient tradition of the Camino of St James. A pilgrimage certificate of completion will be stamped when they arrive at the last of the seven churches. The churches can be visited in any order. Families, groups, individuals, adults and children are all invited to participate in the pilgrim walk. There is no charge to participate. For details of the city Churches see https://www.worldmeeting2018.ie/en/Programme/Additional-Events/The-WMOF2018-Pilgrim-Walk
