Novena to St Anthony at the Friary

The Franciscan Friary is preparing to welcome back Fr Damien Casey who will lead the Novena to St Anthony this week.

Fr Casey is the current chaplain to the Mater Hospital and is the Director of the National Franciscan Pilgrimage to Lourdes. He spent a lot of time in Killarney during his training days and will return to lead this week’s Novena which runs from Sun- day until June 13

“In previous years has preached the St. Anthony’s Novena in Merchants Quay and Athlone.,” said Br Pat, the Guardian of Killarney Friary.

“I am looking forward to welcoming Fr Damien and hope the novena will be as busy as previous years, we look forward to welcoming our parishioners from near and far to honour our wonderful St Antony who is a favourite to so many.”

Meanwhile, the Friary will host a special screening of the film ”The Letter’ on June 17 between 11am and 1pm

Featuring Pope Francis, the film carries a strong ecological theme and there will be an open discussion in the Garden room of the Friary afterwards.

Admission is free but booking is essential and can be done so via the Friary office on 064 66 31334.
