Welcome
This tiny Catholic Christian
island community provides
hundreds of visitors each
year with the opportunity to worship.

said weekly at
Torosay
Church of Scotlandchurch in Craignure, by
kind courtesy of the Elders.
Weekday services and Christmas
and Easter celebrations are held in Our Lady, Star of the Sea church, Tobermory. |
| Miss Mary Burn Murdoch receives the Bene
Merenti award from Bishop Joseph Toal on December 27th 2010, as a recognition
of her work in founding the Colmcille Trust and the Catholic House of Prayer
on Iona. Mary is seen here at the residential home in Edinburgh,where she
is looked after by the Little Sisters of the Poor.The Catholic Church in
Scotland and the diocese of Argyll and the Isles owe her a great debt of
gratitude for the first Catholic presence on Iona since the Reformation. |

The Church can now be accessed
without having to climb the steps! Go half way down Victoria Street and
take the newly laid path by the side of the Stone Cottage. At the end,
turn right and you are just a few yards from the Church. There are still
2 small steps into the church, until alterations can be done, just ask
for help if you need it.

Our Lady, Star of the
Sea
Pray for Seafarers
Pray for us
O
Mary, Star of the Sea, light of every ocean,
guide
seafarers across all dark and stormy seas
that they may reach the haven of peace and light
prepared
in Him who calmed the sea.
As we
set forth upon the oceans of the world
and cross deserts of our time,
show us, O Mary, the fruit of your womb,
for without your Son we are lost.
Pray that we will never fail on life's journey,
that in heart and mind, word and deed,
in days of turmoil and in days of calm,
we will always look to Christ and say,
"Who is this that even wind and sea obey him?
"Our Lady of Peace, pray for us!
Bright
Star of the Sea, guide us!
(Pope John Paul ll) |
Anyone willing to knit woolly
hats for seafarers? Patterns from Judith Spellman,with more information.This

the future of our Catholic community on Mull and our hope of having weekly
Mass. |
