‘Evangelising the Culture’ seminar on Saturday

Conscious that being inactive in the missionary life of the Church is not an option for devout Catholics, a group of lay Catholics in the Roscommon area have come together to form St Patrick’s Team.

Their initial project is to host a seminar in the Radisson Blu Hotel in Athlone, under the title ‘Evangelising the Cul- ture’. This event will be held on Saturday, 28th of January and will bring together some Catholic catechetical groups with programmes old and new, offering them a platform to showcase their faith formation methods.

Keynote speakers include Dr Alexander O’Hara, Fr Brendan Kilcoyne, Fr Maurice Colgan

OP, and David Quinn (of the Iona Institute). Presentations will be made by Faith on Fire, Altaration (on the Mass), Alpha Ireland, Called to More, and NET Ministries. Further details and the registration form can be found at www. saintpatricksteam.ie. Doors open at 9.15 (for tea/coffee) and the sessions begin at 10.30 am.

Parish Youth Mass this Saturday

The next Parish Youth Mass will be at 7 pm on this Saturday, 28th of January, in the Sacred Heart Church, Roscommon. This Mass has been especially designed for young people, by young people, but everyone is invited to attend. The theme of this month’s Mass is coming from darkness into light.
