Limerick faithful set to join in global ‘Our Father’ called for by Pope Francis at 11am Wednesday 25th March

Bishops Brendan Leahy and Kenneth Kearon to join in ecumenical prayer live on webcam from Redemptorist Church, Limerick at 11am tomorrow Wednesday 25th March 

The ‘Lord’s Prayer’ will be invoked like never before in a single moment when people across the Diocese of Limerick will join as one with others across the world in a global Our Father tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11a.m.

Bishop Brendan Leahy will gather with Church of Ireland Bishop of the Diocese of Limerick and Killaloe, Kenneth Kearon, at the Redemptorist Church, South Circular Road, Limerick to dedicate the Lord’s Prayer in response to Pope Francis’ call.  Though Bishops Leahy and Kearon - who have asked that the latest government notice today on physical distancing is adhered to - will be on their own in the Church, the moment of prayer will be carried live on the Redemptorist Church webcam.

Pope Francis has asked that the Heads of the Churches and the leaders of every Christian community, together with all Christians of the various confessions, gather to recite “the same time the prayer that Jesus, Our Lord, taught us” – the Our Father at 12midday, Rome time, 11a.m. here.
