Now that 2010 is fast approaching, Clogher Diocese is eagerly making ready for its third successive pilgrimage to the Holy Land in three years.
The Bishops' Appeal has provided a grant of €10,000 to St George's Clinic, Baghdad, attached to St George's Anglican Church, which was badly damaged by bombs recently. Carnmoney and Magheradroll Parishes have also provided support.
The Holy Land Medical Relief fund is an initiative of two groups of people from Clogher Diocese and further afield who went on pilgrimage to the Holy Land in late 2008 and early 2009 led by Bishop Jackson and certain clergy of Clogher diocese.
