Prayer Assemblies Book Launch

Posted on 23 October 2012

On Tuesday 23rd October the Veritas Bookshop in Ennis was the venue for the launch of  a new publication by Killaloe Priest Fr. Maurice Harmon along with Elaine Mahon. The book is a very useful collection of Prayer Assemblies for Primary Schools. 

This book contains forty ready-to-use prayer assemblies based on themes from the academic and liturgical year. It can be used by principals, teachers, school  chaplains or parish workers who visit schools or classrooms. Combining ease of use with creative ideas for prayer, this book also comes with a CD of music to match each of the assemblies.

The book was launched by Professor Michael A. Hayes who is President of Mary Immaculate College in Limerick.
