Our Novena continues on Thursday evening at 7.30pm at Newry Cathedral. Our special guest speaker, Fr Anthony Moffett, is a recently-ordained priest of the Diocese of Dromore whose remarkable journey of faith has taken him from Belfast to missionary work across nine countries and three continents.

Despite growing up with a full and privileged life, Anthony felt a deeper longing for meaning and purpose. His spiritual journey led him to consecrate himself to Our Lady, undertake years of missionary work and ultimately discern his vocation to the priesthood. With a deep love of prayer, the Eucharist and evangelisation, Fr Anthony is passionate about helping others discover the presence of Christ in their lives.

Come along to hear Fr Anthony share his inspiring journey of faith, vocation and discovering God’s call and to receive a blessing with the Relic of Saint Carlo Acutis.

Behind every tragic collision are people who have to arrive, assess what has happened and act. Police officers, firefighters, paramedics and ambulance crews. Sometimes the first person there faces an overwhelming scene before help arrives.

They work to save lives, protect casualties and prevent another collision around them. They make urgent decisions under immense pressure, surrounded by things most of us would struggle to witness, let alone deal with.

Then there are the officers who knock on a family’s door. They know the news they are carrying will divide somebody’s life into before and after. There is no easy way to deliver it.

We see a road closure, flashing lights or a headline. They see the people inside that story. They hear the voices, witness the injuries and carry memories that don’t simply disappear when their shift finishes.

A uniform doesn’t make someone immune to trauma. Training helps them do their job; it doesn’t stop them being human.

Colleagues can offer understanding that is difficult to find elsewhere. Professional support matters too. Families may also carry some of that weight, trying to support someone they love while struggling with what they have heard themselves.

When an officer challenges someone using a phone, speeding or taking a dangerous chance, consider what they may have attended before stopping that driver. They have seen how quickly an ordinary journey can become the worst day of several people’s lives.

To everyone in our emergency services, control rooms and the teams supporting them: thank you.
Thank you for your skill, your compassion and the work you do in circumstances most people hope never to face.
To the families supporting you when you get home, thank you too.

We can show our gratitude through the way we drive.

Put the phone away.
Leave space.
Slow down.
Wait for a safe overtake.

The people who come to help deserve to get home safely too.

Everyone has a shared duty of care on our roads.
