Word meeting of Families Petition Box Itinerary:

As part of the preparations for the World Meeting of Families, a special petition box will visit every parish in the diocese. It will be available in each parish from the assigned Saturday evening until the following Friday. During that time each parish can decide whether to leave the box in the parish church or move it round all the churches in the parish. Pen and paper will be available so that people can write their petition and there is no money to be included. Each parish would take the responsibility for passing on the box as per the itinerary. The petition will be taken to a religious community who will pray for the intentions and then the intensions will be taken and included in masses celebrated during the World Meeting of Families in Dublin in August 2018 including the final mass celebrated by Pope Francis.
