A Novena of Holy Hours for Vocations Across the Diocese

Nine evenings of prayer across the Diocese of Derry in preparation for Pentecost Sunday.

In preparation for Pentecost Sunday on 24th May, parishes across the Diocese of Derry will host a 9 Day Novena of Holy Hours for Vocations from Thursday 14 – Friday 22 May.
