40 Hours Adoration at St Anthony's

40 hours Adoration at St Anthony's
Sunday to Tuesday
Holy hour on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday at 5pm.

Do you feel called to serve in St. Peter Julian Eymard's lay Aggregation?

The Apostle of the Eucharist founded two Religious Congregations and a lay Aggregation, to promote the reign of God in the Eucharist in both the Church and society. Preparation for the undertaking of the life and ministry of an Associate of the Blessed Sacrament is both a discernment of God's will, and a period of formation.
Online and Face-to-Face session, and a preparation for the future domestic and international apostolate ministries forms part of the one-year programme. Have you considered the possibility that his could be your baptismal vocation? Working in collaboration with brothers and priests of St.Eymard's Eucharistic Congregation proclaiming the good news of the reign of the Eucharist?
Currently formation programmes are offered in the Dublin and Glasgow district.
Br Darren would be happy to meet with you, if you want to pursue this further, or email him at: -

Broken For Us

The Matthean story of Gentiles coming from a far off region in the East to worship Jesus tells us that Jesus came not only for Jews; he came for Gentiles as well. Accordingly out faith in Jesus should be celebrated not only within Catholic churches and our culture, but is to be shared with those who belief in God and his Christ receives an expression that is different from ours. It is to be shared by those who do not share our culture. In the youth of this Year of Faith, we might remember that so many young people - members of our own family - share neither out faith in God nor our culture. We must reach out to them in this year of faith.
