Christmas Presiders Pages published

To facilitate people taking time off over Christmas, the entire set of Christmas Presiders Page has now been published, up to and including New Years Day. These pages can be used by priests at Sunday Mass, or may be printed out as a courtesy to visting priests. (Each contains a very brief Opening Comment and Introduction to the Penitential Rite and to the Readings, together with sample Bidding Prayers — these could also be used by a lay presider if circumstances prevent a priest from presiding).
Prayers from the 1998 ICEL Missal are also included for each Sunday Mass: the Opening Prayer, Prayer Over the Gifts, Preface, Eucharistic Prayer and Prayer after Communion.
These pages, prepared by Bernard Cotter, can be found under the LITURGY tab (top of page — ‘LITURGY PREPARATION’), or in the LITURGY section in the sidebar to the right of this page, in the subsection ‘PRESIDERS PAGES’.
• The ACP wishes presiders, both lay and ordained, a happy and restful Christmas.

What did the bishop achieve?

Brendan Hoban, writing in his column in the Western People, gives his reaction to Bishop Crean recently forcing a Pastoral Council to withdraw an invitation to Tony Flannery to speak in a local community hall.
“It has brought the Irish Catholic Church once more into disrepute in that it showed that other voices have no place in it, even if Pope Francis encourages them in the wider Church. It insulted Tony Flannery …… it shows once again that the people are ahead of the priests, the priests are ahead of the bishops and the bishops, caught in the nineteenth century, are either out of touch or in abject denial.”
