3. Rev. John C. Mulligan, OMI
We pray for the repose of the soul of Father John Mulligan, OMI, who died in St. Albert, Alberta on Sunday, September 8th at the age of 96. Father Mulligan came to the Diocese of Prince George in 1979 to serve as pastor of St. Patrick’s Parish in McBride. He later served at St. Peter’s in Mackenzie and when he retired moved to St. Joseph’s Parish in Vanderhoof. Before moving to Foyer Lacombe in St. Albert he lived briefly at St. Mary’s Parish in Prince George. The Funeral Mass for Father Mulligan will take place in St. Albert on Saturday, September 14th.
4. Monthly Day of Adoration
Parishes in the Central Region are asked to put the following notice in bulletins for the next few weeks:
Due to chapel availability, the October date has been changed. Emmanuel Hermitage invites you to a Personal Date with Jesus on October 1 in the Domano Chapel (at the Domano Renewal Centre, 6500 Southridge Ave.). Mass will be celebrated at 7:30 a.m. and the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for a day of silent prayer and adoration. We will pray especially for the people and needs of our Diocese, the universal Church, and the world. In particular we will pray for the protection of all human life, for vocations, and for the intentions of those participating in the day.
