Welcome to St.Mary's Parish Athlone
St. Mary's Parish is the parish on the east side of the river Shannon in the town of Athlone, Co. Westmeath. We are in the diocese of Ardagh & Clonmacnois: we have two churches - St. Mary’s in the centre of the town and Our Lady, Queen of Peace on the outskirts in Coosan. Both our churches remain open each day for personal prayer during these difficult times. Please browse our new, updated website and the services available here, which we will be expanding over the coming months. May the prayers of Mary, our Mother and Queen of Peace, help all of you and your loved ones at this time. Make Your OfferingParish Announcements
Lord Jesus Christ,
Good Shepherd and High Priest,
We praise you and offer you our sincere gratitude for calling Pope Leo XIV to serve as the shepherd of the universal church.
May he lead us as a loving shepherd who cares for his flock and seeks out the lost sheep.
May he be for us a gentle and listening father, a faithful teacher and a steward of your sacred mysteries.
Grant him health, strength, and wisdom.
Strengthen the bonds of unity among us so that we may serve you as one body.
Purify us and sustain us in charity for your love for us never fails.
Grant that we may boldly answer your call to mission.
You who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
Amen.
