At a time when faith is being challenged relentlessly in Irish life, this is a refreshing and uplifting eight week series designed to help us to better understand, appreciate and deepen our faith.
Spaces will be limited so if you would like to join us for this series please contact the Firhouse Parish Office at 01-4524702 as soon as possible or email olmcfirhouseparish@gmail.com to register your interest.
Come and See
This is a series of six presentations which leads people to a deeper appreciation of the richness of faith in a way that is of personal benefit and inspires service and evangelization.
It explores basic Christian themes at a time when all values are challenged. It is based on the book “Inspiring Faith Communities – a programme of evangelization”, Messenger Publications (2020).
The course starts on Monday evening 23rd February in Holy Rosary Church, Ballycragh, Dublin 24.
LENTEN TALKS – CLONTARF
Lenten Talks by Fr Vivian Boland OP. Dates: February 19, February 26, March 5 and March 12. Time: 7.30pm. Location: Parish Centre, Church of St John the Baptist, Clontarf Road.
Each day we are addressed by numerous voices claiming our attention. What hope is there of identifying the Lord’s voice in all the noise?
In this series of four Lenten talks we will consider the places in which the Christian tradition tells us we can hear the Lord’s voice. What makes it difficult for us today and what are the implications for our way of living when we do hear the Lord’s voice?
