St Martin Magazine - St Martin Magazine - Nov 2024

En este asunto

November is a very special month during which we celebrate St Martin and remember all who have died and gone before us. This November is even more memorable because on Sunday the 3rd at 11.30 Mass in St Saviour’s Church, Dublin 1 the newly refurbished National Shrine to St Martin will be rededicated. All are welcome to this joyous event which will be celebrated by the Papal Nuncio in Ireland. In his article on Great Irish Dominicans, Fr Conor McDonough OP, recalls Fr Thomas Nichola Burke the renowned preacher who was mentioned by James Joyce in Dubliners. In keeping with our remembrance of the Holy Souls Ray Hughes writes about the short hymn Requiem Aeternum (Eternal Rest). To coincide with the Visit of the Relics of St Bernadette to Ireland we have replaced Evangelium with an article celebrating the young French peasant girl who was witness to the apparitions which put Lourdes on the map. Brothers of St Martin celebrates the Novices, Newly Professed and those who have made their Solemn Vows recently in the Dominican Order. Fr John Harris OP explains in a very interesting article how we are all called to be saints - the Universal Call to Holiness. Come and visit the very special exhibition of St Bernadette’s life-size replica and relic which will be on display upstairs in the Apostolate from Monday, 7th October, to Friday, 25th October. Read about the proposed Pilgrimage to Peru, St Martin’s home, in 2025. As we prepare for Christmas you can avail of our St Martin Calendars and Diaries which make lovely gifts. Don’t forget our beautiful selection of Christmas Cards to which we have added a glorious set of designs featuring Irish stained-glass windows. A pleasure to give and receive.
