                                   Bishops' Appeal - Myanmar Earthquake

Following the devastating earthquake last Friday (28th March) in South East Asia in which over two thousand lives have been lost, the Bishops’ Appeal Advisory Committee is sending emergency assistance of €10,000 (currently equivalent to £8,400) to Christian Aid’s appeal for Myanmar. During 2021, the Church of Ireland Bishops’ Appeal released funds to support Covid relief efforts in India and also in Haiti following a devastating earthquake.  And the crisis in Ukraine has displaced numerous refugees in need of support by relief agencies and the Bishops' Appeal seeks urgent donations to go towards such humanitarian work. Individuals and parishes are invited to contribute to support these and other efforts.   Taxpayers in the U.K. can give more help by “Gift Aiding” donations.
Envelopes are available in the porch.

The Dean Writes:

Dear Parishioners and Friends all around the world,

Many churches across Northern Ireland have played their part in the recent commemorations to mark the 80th anniversary
of Victory in Europe (VE) Day. The commemorations on 8th May provided an opportunity to honour the sacrifices made by
those who served in the conflict. They also provided an opportunity to pray for lasting peace, echoing the spirit of unity that
defined the end of the Second World War in Europe. Across the UK thousands of church bells, including the bells of Saint
Macartin’s Cathedral, rang out at 6.30pm on VE Day. This echoed the bellringing that swept across the country in 1945, as churches and cathedrals joined in the national joy and thanksgiving.

We were pleased to have at our service His Majesty’ s representative for Co. Fermanagh, The Viscount Brookeborough, The Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, representatives of several Consulates and Clerical colleagues from the four main churches. The Chairman of Fermanagh & Omagh District Council, other political representatives and many visitors and friends were also present on that very special occasion.

We gathered in a spirit of unity and remembrance as we celebrated Victory in Europe Day. This special joint service was a testament to our shared faith and commitment to peace, transcending the boundaries of our individual denominations. The service began in St Macartin’s Cathedral and ended in St Michael’s Church – one service in two buildings.

There are 1133 deaths of serving soldiers from the Second World War (equally Roman Catholic and Protestant) recorded in the Book of Remembrance placed in our Regimental Chapel. This service was an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made for our freedom and the hope that unites us all, a time to honour the past but also to strengthen the bonds of fellowship among our diverse communities. The walk together across the street to continue our service, symbolised our journey in faith and our collective resolve for a brighter future.

May the light of love and understanding guide our steps as we embrace one another in celebration and gratitude. Let us continue to pray for lasting peace, echoing the spirit of unity that defined the end of the Second World War in Europe, and as we honour the past, so we renew our commitment to building a more peaceful and just world for all.

Yours very sincerely

hoped will be a blessing to all. You can still access the page by clicking HERE
