:: TRIDIUM: The annual Tridium for the Holy Souls at Cuan Mhuire on Dublin Road, Newry continues today and tomorrow.
Each evening there will be the Rosary at 7.30pm and Mass at 8pm. The Cuan Mhuire residents' choir - which has been practising hard in recent weeks - will enhance the liturgy.

:: CHURCH ROOFS: Tom Elliott, the Ulster Unionist MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone, has encouraged churches to apply or express an interest in the Listed Places of Worship Roof Repair Fund.
It was set up in 2014 and is to re-open with a fund of £25 million.
Mr Elliott said grants of between £10,000 and £100,000 were available for repairs to roofs, gutters, downpipes and drains for listed places of worship.
Under the first tranche of funding, 25 places of worship in Northern Ireland secured £1.2m.
"I would strongly encourage any place of worship across Northern Ireland, but particularly in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, to avail of this fantastic yet fleeting opportunity."

:: ADVENT: Tobar Mhuire Retreat Centre will host an Advent day of reflection led by Sean Goan on Saturday December 12.
In his own reflective and scholarly way, he will link two themes - the Year of Mercy, as declared by Pope Francis, and the lectionary's Year of Luke - as he looks at the biblical themes of mercy through the lens of Luke's gospel.

:: MULTIFAITH: Guidelines for multifaith and interfaith events were launched this week by the Northern Ireland Interfaith Forum.
The Rev Maurice Ryan, founder of the Interfaith Forum, said the guidelines would help in the promotion of mutual understanding among faith communities "and across the rich cultural diversity that increasingly characterises our Northern Irish society".
The Community Relations Council was involved in developing the guidelines and its chairman, Peter Osborne, said he hoped people, "whether from a faith organisation or a secular organisation, as an individual or as part of a group, learn from these guidelines by using them openly and sincerely".
