Limerick’s Novena in honour of Our Mother of Perpetual Help takes place from June 14^th to 22^nd with 10 sessions each day.

On Monday June 17^th at 11.30am we welcome children who have made their First Communion this year.  Schools from the city and counties of Limerick, Clare and Tipperary are welcome to attend.  It is also an opportunity to give thanks for teachers and those who help to educate children today.
On Tuesday June 18^th we celebrate God’s mercy for us with a Day of Reconciliation. Masses will be celebrated at 7am, 10am, 1.10pm, 6pm and 10.30pm.  Reconciliation Liturgies will take place at 8am, 11.30am, 4.30pm, 7.30pm and 9pm.
