What does Pope Francis intend by calling us to be a Synodal Church ?  We are hearing the words Synodal Church being used today.  We know that Pope Francis has asked us to be a Synodal Church, but what does that mean?  A Synodal Church is the Church of our time.  Please join Bishop Niall Coll on Monday, 27th March at 7pm in St. Kieran’s College, as he leads us in a reflection on what it means for each one of us as members of the Catholic Church today.  Bishop

Coll extends an invitation to all

 

Wednesday Prayer Service:  The prayer service continues each Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in Kilmanagh Church.  It’s 35-40 minutes of quiet time, prayer, music and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.  All welcome to attend.
