  YEAR OF FAITH

During this Year of Faith it is planned to have a pilgrimage- celebration centred on the Sacraments in 7 historical / religious sites across the 4 Cluster parishes of Clonmacnois, Cloghan/Banagher, Ferbane, and Ballinahown.  It is hoped to involve all groups in the Parishes.  On next Thurs we will visit Killourney Cemetery (the theme will be the Sacrament of Reconciliation), and continue each Thurs @ 7.30pm.   The concluding pilgrimage-celebration will be in Clonmacnois on Thurs 15th August, and the Sacramental theme will be the Blessed Eucharist.  

‘Passports’ specially designed for this ‘Year of Faith’ celebration will be stamped at each location as a keepsake.

Young people who are unable to travel to Brazil for World Youth Day (WYD) this summer are being offered the opportunity to experience ‘Rio in Dublin’.

The Office of Evangelisation & Ecumenism in Dublin diocese is planning to recreate the atmosphere of World Youth Day with a weekend of catechises, music, prayer, workshops and reconciliation from July 27-28.

“Rio in Dublin 2013 is aimed at young people who can’t attend WYD or former pilgrims who would like to capture some of the magic of the event,” said Gerard Gallagher from Dublin diocese.
