A period of prayer, reflection and planning for the renewal of the Church in the Archdiocese of Dublin

You are warmly invited to join once again with every parish in the diocese in the annual Novena to the Holy Spirit – our dedicated period of prayer, reflection and planning for the renewal of the Church in the Archdiocese of Dublin. The Novena will take place in the nine days from 1st – 9th June beginning on the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord, through Pentecost and continuing to the Feast of St Columba on Monday 9th June.

and we have already begun our joint pastoral conversations in our parish partnership.

We are encouraged towards prayerful reflection, listening and sharing, so that we can better hear the voice of God’s Spirit, to help direct the Church into the future. The Novena to the Holy Spirit, which we begin on Sunday 1 June, is a critical part of our Building Hope process of prayerful listening, dialogue and planning.
