The Saturday evening Vigil Mass in English will resume this weekend (3rd October) at 18:00 in the Church of St Michel.

Please contact Fr Michael in the event that you will be traveling by car from the UK back to Luxembourg in the near future and could kindly bring 40 books which we need for our First Holy Communion class. Thank you!

This year marks 800 years since the death of Saint Francis. To mark it, and to welcome our visitors from Ireland, there will be a Mass for Our Common Home on Thursday 8^th October at 18:00 at Église Saint-Michel. The Mass is in English, celebrated by Fr Michael Cusack with Bishop Martin Hayes of Kilmore, and dedicated to the Care of Creation.

Afterwards we move to a nearby venue where there will be drinks and a bite to eat offered, and we hope some music. Come to the Mass, come to have a drink, or come to both. Everyone is welcome. More info salvatore@laudatosi.lu  or hope@laudatosi.lu

From 7^th to 11^th October a small delegation from Ireland is visiting us in Luxembourg. Bishop Martin Hayes of Kilmore, who chairs the Irish bishops’ working group on Laudato Si’, is coming with two colleagues from Trócaire and some parishioners from different parts of Ireland.

Irish parishes have spent the best part of a decade doing practical work on the care of creation, and this group has done much of it with their own hands. Most of them are not experts. They are people who gave parish land back to wildlife, started groups where there was nothing, work with young people, and in one case moved a pension so that it sat more easily with his faith.

On Friday 9^th October, from 10:00 to 12:00, they will spend the morning with us. They will share what worked and what did not, and then we talk it through around small tables. It is a conversation rather than a conference, and lunch follows! The morning is in English and open to everyone, whatever your tradition.

If you would like to come, please email salvatore@laudatosi.lu by Wednesday 30^th September so we can plan the room and the lunch. The venue will be confirmed to everyone who writes.
