THEME FOR THIS YEAR’S NOVENA
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest......
Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest
for your souls” – (Matthew 11:28-29)

The Solemn Novena in Clonard is for the whole family and community, young and old –for those who believe and those who doubt – for those who are rejoicing and those who are struggling – for those who hope and those who despair. EVERYBODY IS WEL:COME

Fr. George Wadding, C.Ss.R., - George is a native of Waterford. Familiar to many in Belfast as a past Rector of Clonard, Fr. George now lives in our community in Dublin where he works in the Marianella Pastoral Centre. He makes a welcome return to Belfast for the Solemn Novena.

Fr. Michael Dempsey, C.Ss.R., - Michael is a native of West Belfast, and was ordained a Redemptorist priest in Clonard Monastery last March. Based in Dundalk, where he is part of the parish mission team there, Michael is a passionate Manchester Utd. supporter! He hopes to be celebrating another successful season for the ‘reds’ when he comes to the novena in June.

Br. Brian Nolan, C.Ss.R., - Like many a good Redemptorist, Brian comes from Limerick City where he attended school in our Redemptorist College there. As one of our senior students, Brian has been working with the Clonard mission team, and youth ministry team, for the last two years. He returns to Dublin in September to complete his formation, and hopes to be ordained within the next two years. Often seen in a Munster rugby jersey!

Fr. Brendan Mulhall, C.Ss.R., - Brendan is another native of West Belfast and, since his ordination in Clonard almost four years ago, has been working as a member of the Clonard mission team conducting retreats and missions throughout N. Ireland and abroad. This is Brendan’s second time to preach at the Clonard Novena.

Cantors: Fr. Adrian Egan, C.Ss.R. (Clonard), Fr. John Hanna, C.Ss.R. (Clonard), and Fr. Gerry Cassidy, C.Ss.R. (Clonard).

The Clonard Novena draws thousands of people each day to our Church and local community. We would ask motorists to follow the directions of the steward; in the car park and to have special consideration for local residents and their own parking requirements.

Prayer for the Novena 

We thank you, loving Father, 
forgiving us Mary the Mother 
of your Son, to be our Mother 
of Perpetual Help.

We are grateful for all the favours 
we have received through her 
powerful intercession.

We pray that these past favours 
may inspire us to greater 
confidence in your loving mercy

We pray also that these nine days 
of prayer may bring a special 
blessing on us, 
on our families, on our friends, 
on our neighbourhood and 
on our city

Grant this, through Christ 
Our Lord. Amen.
