World Meeting of Families Diocesan Petition Box Itinerary

As part of the preparations for the World Meeting of Families, a special petition box will visit every parish in the diocese. It will be available in each parish from the assigned Saturday evening until the following Friday. During that time each parish can decide whether to leave the box in the parish church or move it round all the churches in the parish. Paper and pens will be available so that people can write their petitions.

The petitions will be taken to a religious community who will pray for the intentions and then the intentions will be brought and included in Masses celebrated during the World Meeting of Families in Dublin in August, including the final mass which, we hope, will be celebrated by Pope Francis
