Martin de Porres Velázquez, OP (December 9, 1579 – November 3, 1639), was a lay brother of the Dominican Order who was beatified in 1837 by Pope Gregory XVI and canonized in 1962 by Pope John XXIII. He is the patron saint of mixed-race people, barbers, innkeepers, public health workers, and all those seeking racial harmony. He was noted for work on behalf of the poor, establishing an orphanage and a children's hospital. He maintained an austere lifestyle, which included fasting and abstaining from meat.
Among the many miracles attributed to him were those of levitation, bilocation, miraculous knowledge, instantaneous cures, and an ability to communicate with animals.

Marion’s Story, in 1989, after seventeen years of debilitating
illness, Marion Carroll was a human wreck. She could not
walk, her muscles were wasted, she was blind in one eye and
only had partial sight in the other. She had lost control of her
bladder, the muscles of her throat and her speech were
severely affected and she had a hiatus hernia, thyroid trouble
and epilepsy. That September, against all medical advice,
Marion attended the Anointing of the Sick in the Basilica of
the Shrine of Knock. When Mass was over, she stepped free
from her stretcher - and walked. Today Marion, with her
strong simple faith, is a source of light and life for thousands
of others. Her universal message unmasks fear and proclaims
the triumph of love and the victory of the human God. Hear
her story, it is a message of Hope.
About World Mission Month
World Mission Month 2016
World Mission Day is celebrated every year in every country wherever there are Catholics committed to building a better world for all of God's people, a world where everyone has all they need to live a dignified and fulfilling life. It is the day on which we reflect on the
urgency to proclaim the Gospel in our times.
Missionary activity is a response to the love with which God loves us. God's love is the spiritual energy that can make harmony; justice and communion grow among persons,
races and peoples for which everyone is searching. It is God, who is Love, who leads the Church towards those farthest away and calls us to be renewed from the original source, Jesus Christ, from whose pierced heart flows the love of God.
The God of love is the source of care, tenderness, compassion, hospitality and interest in
other people's problems, for spreading Christ's charity around the world.
Catholic Mission around the world has the responsibility of promoting a dignified and fruitful celebration of World Mission Day. This year World Mission Day is Sunday 23rd October 2016.
Why a whole month?
Because Jesus' mission of creating a world where all can live a fully dignified life is still a long way off and because this mission is central to the Catholic Church. The whole month
of October has been dedicated to reflection in the hope that all the baptised will be always more committed to Christ's mission of salvation for the world.
Children's Mission Day 26th October 2016
In Australia, Catholic Mission has designated Wednesday 26th October 2016 as Children's Mission Day to promote mission in a manner appropriate and relevant to students, and to celebrate the wonderful fundraising efforts to support Catholic Mission’s
work with children worldwide. When we allow God to act through us in love for others, bringing the fruits of the spirit into the world—reconciliation, forgiveness, justice, peace, harmony, joy, and love—we build God's family and help everyone experience fullness of
life.
We can all act to reduce poverty around the world and improve the quality of life for all our brothers and sisters of God's family. We can stand in solidarity with all who suffer exclusion, poverty and injustice and whose life is in some way diminished.
Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy
life…”Hebrews 12:14a
Prayer underpins Habitat’s work, as we seek to put God’s love into action by bringing people
together to build homes, communities and hope.
As Hurricane Matthew approaches Haiti, please pray for communities still recovering from the
devastating earthquake in 2010. Pray that God’s love will protect and comfort. Habitat has worked
in Haiti for 30 years. Pray for our staff, and their families, at this time.
In addition, please remember the specific prayer points below for our work.
Back To School
Ask God to bless young people settling
back into school. Remember especially
young people in our world who cannot
attend school due to conflict.
Pray for Habitat staff in Lebanon as they
prepare to renovate and expand 12 schools
to provide more places for refugee children.
Pray for peace in communities torn apart by
conflict so that children everywhere can
lead happy lives and grow into all that God
intended. Give thanks for peacemakers and pray that each of us do what we can to build peace in
our community and our world.
An Inclusive Environment
Pray for Habitat staff in our new Habitat
ReStore in Ballymena. Thank God for
guiding staff to overcome many challenges
and pray that He will continue to show the
way.
Give thanks for ReStore volunteers,
especially the 38% in Lisburn who
participate in supported placements. Some
suffer from mental health issues, have
learning disabilities, are at risk of social
isolation or are in the justice system.
Pray that the Ballymena ReStore will also become a safe, inclusive environment for volunteers for
all abilities and backgrounds to learn new skills and grow in confidence.
Waiting in Hope
Pray for Elena Hongu and her son Darius,
who is autistic and does not speak.
Remember them as they live in cramped
conditions; a small room with one bed.
Doctors believe a bigger place to play and
grow would make a huge difference to
Darius.
Pray Elena, Darius and all the families who
were to become homeowners at Big Build
16. Unfortunately Big Build has had to be
postponed due to changes in construction
legislation and the local government.
Remember Habitat Romania staff who worked incredibly hard to find a way though. Pray that
politicians in Romania will have the wisdom and courage to resolve the outstanding issues quickly.
Global Volunteers
Give thanks for our Global Village
volunteers who travelled with open hearts
and minds to support our partner
programmes this summer. Pray that they
will remember the relationships they built;
continuing to speak out for the cause of
safe shelter and build the kingdom of God
on earth.
Remember the families and communities
who volunteers served as they plan a
brighter future in their better living
conditions. Ask God to bless Habitat staff on the ground as they continue to find innovative ways
to serve families in desperate need.
Seeking to Discern God's Will
Give thanks for Habitat’s global God @ the
Centre Team who lead Habitat’s efforts to
remain a vibrant, effective, global Christian
organisation dedicated to demonstrating the
love and teachings of Jesus. Pray for the
team as they seek to discern God’s will as
Habitat builds a world where everyone has
a decent place to live.
Pray for the Habitat NI Volunteer Board of
Directors as they guide and oversee the
organisation. Give thanks for the leadership
of Steven Creighton who has stepped down from the Board after serving the maximum term of 9
years. Pray for Seamus McKeague as he replaces Steven as Chair of the Board.

Lough Derg, the sacred Sanctuary of St Patrick, is very much a living part of Irish Christian Heritage. A unique island, rich in prayer and faith, an island which has been calling pilgrims for over a thousand years, an island which St Patrick himself was called to. For many people Lough Derg provides an opportunity to step back from their lives, to take stock and examine the direction which their lives are taking. For many others it is a time to come closer to God through prayer and reflection. Lough Derg is an island of pilgrimage set in calm lake waters, offers no distraction, no artificialities or interruptions. Instead you are warmly welcomed and cared for: there are no strangers here. The island, made holy by the prayers of millions of pilgrims over the centuries, continues to provide a safe haven for rest, reflection and renewal to all who wish to ‘Come away to a quiet place and rest a while’, Mark 6:31
If you wish to find out more or if you wish to organise a group to come to the island for a One Day Retreat or a Group Tour we will be delighted to help you.
