Lent 2021 - Diocese of Clogher

During Lent, three online talks on the topic of Parish Ministry will be held. This is organised by the Clogher Diocese in Dialogue group as part of that ongoing process.

Wednesday 24th February

Julie Kavanagh (Kildare & Leighlin Diocese) on the link between Baptism and ministry in parish.

Wednesday 10th March

Dr. Gareth Byrne (Mater Dei Centre of Catholic Education, DCU) on reimagining the link between school and parish today.

Wednesday 24th March (Feast of Saint Macartan)

Lay people involved in a range of ministries from across the diocese: how they come to be there; what they do; and the importance of their ministry to the parish.

Each talk will begin at 7.30pm, and will last approximately 40-45 minutes (including a moment for prayer and opportunity for discussion). These talks will be accessible online, via the Diocese of Clogher Facebook page and on the homepage of the diocesan website.

As part of our diocesan journey through Lent towards the celebration of Holy Week and the Easter Triduum, we will be compiling a Diocesan Way of the Cross. This liturgy will be livestreamed on Friday 26th March at 7.30pm via the Diocese of Clogher Facebook page and on the homepage of www.clogherdiocese.ie. This lay led liturgy will be recorded throughout Lent, in Churches across all seven Pastoral Areas of the diocese, featuring two stations from each.
