Questions
people ask
Q.
If the triumph of Jesus was complete
at the Resurrection, what does the Ascension add to it?
A.
The 40 days between Easter Sunday & Ascension Day represent a period of
readjustment for the disciples. They
needed time to let go of the daily, physical presence of the Lord. It was a period of further instruction when
the Risen Lord appeared to them to show them how to recognise his presence in
ways such as the breaking of bread (Eucharist), in the forgiveness of sins, and
in the leadership of Peter.

Station
Masses
This
is the time of year when we celebrate the ‘Station Masses’, a long-standing
tradition in Ireland, and an unbroken link with the faith and practice of our
ancestors. We are looking for volunteers
to host the Station Mass.
