The Parish of Carrickfergus & Whitehead
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
We would like to invite you to take part in a day dedicated to prayer and worship in the lead up to the great feast of Pentecost.
The purpose of the day is to strengthen our parish community after completing our Lenten sacrifices and renewing our hearts and Baptismal promises during the Easter Triduum.
​​
Eucharistic Adoration will take place in,
St. Nicholas' Church
on Saturday 23rd May
from 8.00 a.m. until 8.00 p.m.
It will start with a High Mass at 8.00 a.m. and finish with Benediction led by Bishop Alan McGuckian at 8.00 p.m.
​
Please come along to support the day and ask God for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our parish community and, of course, for your own special intentions as well.
​
If you are able to commit to remaining in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament for an hour during this time, please put your name on the sheet at the back of the church.
​
Thank you.

The birthday of the Church will be celebrated on
Pentecost Sunday, 24th May.
Everyone is invited to wear something red in recognition of this important feast day in our liturgical calendar. Both churches will be decorated for the occasion and some of our foreign national parishioners will read the bidding prayers in their mother tongue for us.
The children who recently received their First Holy Communion are invited to come wearing their special clothes.
The children who had the Sacrament of Confirmation conferred on them at the end of January are also invited to come and celebrate this great feast, when the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles.
Light refreshments will be provided after the 09.30 Mass in Whitehead.
Everyone is welcome.
