The Pope’s Intentions for July
Universal: Indigenous Peoples That indigenous peoples, whose identity and very existence are threatened, will be shown due respect.
Evangelisation: Latin America and the Caribbean That the Church in Latin America and the Caribbean, by means of her mission to the continent, may announce the Gospel with renewed vigour and enthusiasm.
A New Departure
Some people in our parish are familiar with Glencomeragh, Kilsheelan where the Institute of Charity (Rosminians) has had a Retreat House for many years.
Bishop Cullinan has announced recently that Glencomeragh has now been given to the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore and a new work will start there in September.
The house will now be designated as a ‘House of Mission’ and will be a place of evangelisation and preparation for young people. A number of trained people will take up residence at Glencomeragh and it is hoped that the young people who receive preparation there will go to the schools and parishes of the diocese to encounter other young people.
Glencomeragh will continue to be a ‘House of Prayer’ where people are invited to visit and enjoy some quiet time in the church and in the grounds and gardens.
Let us pray for the success of this new initiative, invoking the patron saints of the Diocese: Saint Otteran, Saint Carthage and Saint Declan and the Founder of the Insititute of Charity, Blessed Antonio Rosmini.
