NOTICE TO PARISHIONERS

 

Diocese of Galway, Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora Gathering of Priests – Thank You!

 

Thank you for your prayers for the success of the gathering of the priests of our diocese during the week. In an atmosphere of genuine hope and fraternity, the priests spent two days in prayer and reflection. They considered the many challenges facing priests in their ministry, along with the future of our parish communities and our diocese at this time. As a Christian community, priests and people now need to begin a structured conversation on the way forward. Over the next few months, we will embark on this journey. Please continue to pray that with the help of the Holy Spirit this process will bring new life, new light, and new energy to the living out of the message of Jesus in our diocese as a whole.

 

Michael Duignan
Bishop of Galway & Kilmacduagh & Apostolic Administrator of Kilfenora

 Thank you.

Pastoral Outreach Centre Events

ADVENT: HOPE & THE SYNOD — ONLINE CONFERENCES

The Spirit of Advent

John 1:14 'The Word was made flesh'

The Season of Advent prepares us for the Word becoming flesh among us. This cannot simply be a celebration of something that happened over 2,000 years ago. Christ comes to us in today’s world, today’s experiences, and today’s Church. 

During these four evenings we’ll make the wonderful connection between the Christ who was foretold, the Christ who came … and the Christ who comes to us in our experience of Synod.

Zoom link invitations, notes, texts, and audio recordings will be made available.
Please register at: pastoral@galwaydiocese.ie
