Eucharistic Congress
Countdown ……. 3 weeks
As part of the Eucharistic Congress, Dublin
Diocese
has organised a Camino walk. This
entails visiting 7 city centre churches, starting at James’ St., from
there we
visit John’s Lane, Whitefriar St, St Anne’s Dawson St, Holton St and
Church St,
finishing in the Pro-Cathedral. It takes
about 2½ hours, walking at an easy pace. James’
St. is accessible by public transport. This
takes place from June 2nd - June
16th. If interested contact the Parish
Office.
‘One of the challenges facing us in the 21st
century
is to transform our parishes into communities of disciples among whom
God
reigns. It could be referred to as a
paradigm shift: a shift from an understanding of parish as a place
where I
live, raise my family, go to church, try to make ends meet and do no
harm to
others in the meantime, to an understanding of parish as a community of
disciples dedicated to the service of the reign
of God.
(Irish Catholic Bishops)
