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.
