The Turus of St Crona
The Turus of St Crona took place on Sunday 9th July 2023, with Fr Johnny leading the prayer walk of faith. After a massive downpour of rain halfway through the Turus, the pilgrim group, βfortis in fideβ (strong in faith), continued in prayer to the site of the church and the original site and burial place of St Crona. The sun came out to dry out the group as it prayed walking around the church. Godβs grace shining on the pilgrims and the start of many more years of pilgrimage to this historic site in Maghery.
Many thanks to the McCole family who allowed us across through their land and to their son Brendan (pictured front row next to Fr Johnny) who strimmed the whole area so we could walk around the site safely. π
Holy Communion 2023
Holy Communion holds immense importance for our children as it introduces them to the significance of Christ’s sacrifice and nurtures their spiritual growth, helping them experience God’s love, forgiveness, and the joy of belonging to our Church community.
Guest Speaker: Fr Johnny Moore – Raphoe Diocese
Fr. Johnny Moore joins us on Padres Corner and reminds us that just like the two Greek men asked the apostles if they could meet with Jesus, we also have people in our lives that introduce us to Jesus and we need to thank God for these people.
Fr. Moore’s reflection prompts us to pause and reflect on the individuals who have touched our lives with the grace of encounter, leading us closer to Jesus Christ.

Feast of St. Anthony
St. Anthony of Padua, born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1195, is a beloved Catholic saint. As a Franciscan friar, he gained fame for his eloquent preaching, extensive knowledge of Scripture, and countless miracles. He holds a special place as the patron saint of lost items, as many have sought his intercession in finding what was misplaced. St. Anthony’s profound devotion to God, humility, and unwavering compassion for the poor and marginalized endeared him to people from all walks of life. His feast day is celebrated on June 13th, an occasion marked with devotions, processions, and the blessing of lilies, symbolizing his purity. Today, St. Anthony remains an iconic figure, celebrated and revered for his spiritual guidance and intercessory role.
