‘Pause for Hope’ - Ecumenical Prayer Service in St Patrick’s Cathedral on Sunday 15 October at 3.30pm

The Catholic Cathedral of St. Patrick’s, Armagh, will host an ecumenical prayer service on October 15th at 3.30pm for all those whose lives have been touched by cancer.

 

The service is organised by the UK-based charity, Pause for Hope (www.pauseforhope.org.uk).

 

The aim of Pause for Hope is to help people affected by cancer through bringing together in prayer, those who have, or have had cancer, their loved ones, those who care for them, doctors, nurses and carers, those who have responsibility for providing resources, and scientists trying to find a cure.

 

Bishop Michael Router, Auxiliary Bishop of Armagh, will lead the service.  The preacher will be Archbishop John McDowell, Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh, and during the service a person affected by cancer will speak about their experience.  The musical accompaniment will be provided by organist Colm Murphy and the Cathedral Choir.  Following the service, light refreshments will be provided in the Synod Hall, along with an opportunity to share stories and experiences with others in a similar situation.

 

Everyone is welcome to attend.
