St Patricks Missionary Society Marriage Preparation Services Statement from Bishop Dennis Brennan The Appeal to support St Patricks Missionary society will take place in our parish this weekend of May 16th - 17th May I deeply regret the decision of the Government to withdraw funding for Accord Marriage preparation Courses. In addition to marriage preparation courses, Accord provides marriage and relationship counselling services throughout the country. The demand for these services has increased substantially in recent years. I would urge the Government to reconsider this very sudden and unexpected decision which will have long term consequences for Irish society. The Diocese of Ferns renews its solidarity with the many competent and well trained professional volunteers who have served the people of county Wexford, South Wicklow and surrounding counties for over fifty years. The Diocese will continue to work with Family Life Service Wexford to ensure the continued presence and commitment of Accord as the impact of this decision becomes increasingly apparent and is felt locally. The Mission Appeal which Father Joe Rabbitt will coordinate and asks for your continued support for the Society’s missionary works, through enrolling in Mission Circle, subscribing to “Africa” magazine or supporting other initiatives. Through this visit we wish to recall how missionary work is central to our faith and thank you for your generous support in the past.
