A special thank-you to our promoters, readers and benefactors
Through the generosity of our Promoters, most of our readers are able to receive The Messenger at the lowest possible cost. Thank-you.
Be assured that The Lord will bless you for your help in making better known His name and the love of His heart.
Thank-you also, to all of you who have sent donations for the spread of devotion to the Sacred Heart and for other good causes. You are all remembered in our prayers and Masses.
John Looby, S.J.

RSVP by May 24 to: Elizabeth Foley, Messenger Publications, 37 Lower Leeson St, Dublin 2 (Ph. 087 2309219; Email: sisteref@eircom.net)
This year we will incorporate a presentation ceremony in recognition of all those who have promoted the Messenger and the Spread of Devotion to the Sacred Heart for over 25 years, or over 50 years. This includes families, orders or communities who have faithfully handed down promotional work of the Messenger through the generations.
We aim, as much as possible to make these Masses a community event and wish to extend our sincere thanks to all who made such a valuable contribution – the local Parish Priest and chaplain, the organisers, singers/musicians, readers, all who helped in the Offertory procession, and certainly not forgetting those who so willing gave over their local Parish hall/school and their time, to provide refreshments after the Mass.
The Masses are held for the intentions of all our voluntary promoters, their families and loved ones, and all Promoters over the years. Without your tireless and dedicated work, many of our readers would not be able to receive the Messenger each month. Our sincere thanks.
If you would like to become a Promoter, or if you would like us to hold one of the four annual Masses in your Parish next year, please contact manager@messenger.ie, or Phone: 01 6767491.
