Is there anything to be said for saying another Mass? A real-life Bishop Brennan is encouraging people to pray to put an end to our soggy summer.

Bishop Denis Brennan from the diocese of Ferns is planning to offer prayers this weekend after the continuing rain forced the cancellation of a major agricultural show in County Wexford.

His call for prayer has reportedly been reproduced in local newsletters and online.

Bishop Brennan was spurred into action after he met a local farmer who told him of the effect the weather is having on his crops.
