Environmental prayer request for Ploughing Championships

People of all ages and faiths are being asked to choose their favourite traditional prayer and to compose a prayer of their own for the protection of the environment.

Bishop Denis Nulty of Kildare and Leighlin issued his appeal in the run-up to the September 17-19 National Ploughing Championships at Ballintrane, Fenagh, Co Carlow, which is in his diocese.
