Today we remember Servant of God Ragheed Ganni, a cherished friend of Lough Derg whose life and witness continues to inspire across the world.
Fr Ragheed served on the staff of Lough Derg from 1996 to 2003 while studying for the priesthood in Rome. He had a deep love for this holy place and for the many pilgrims he encountered here.
On 3 June 2007, Fr Ragheed was martyred alongside three fellow Christians in Mosul, Iraq, after celebrating Sunday Mass. His faith, courage and fidelity to Christ remain a powerful testimony of hope.
As we give thanks for his life and witness, we invite you to join us in prayer:
Lord, through the example of Fr Ragheed Ganni, strengthen us in faith, deepen our trust in You, and help us to be faithful witnesses to Your love in our own time. Amen.
May his memory be a blessing and may his cause for beatification continue to advance.
