The Church of the Immaculate Conception-The Lough

31/05/2026

The relics of St. Carlo Acutis are visiting our diocese at the moment. And a reminder to you that they are at Ss Peter & Paul’s Sunday from 7am until 10pm in the evening.

On Monday they will return to the cathedral until 5pm sharp.

It is a true blessing for us to have them so close to us.

There are prayer petitions which can be left in the Lough church which then will be collected on Sunday after 12noon Mass and they will be brought to the relics of St. Carlo.
