Under the theme Mary, Mother of the Church, the Dublin Provincial Congress took place at Maynooth Seminary in May, a perfect setting for our work together.
Organised by Dublin Provincial President Padraig O’Brien, we were blessed to welcome Bishop Paul Dempsey and Fr. Chris Hayden as our guest speakers, both of whom inspired us to reflect more deeply on our theme and our shared devotion to Mary, our Mother.
Sincere thanks go to the seminarians who kindly gave up their time to look after us throughout the day and join us for lunch (even when they should have been studying!), giving us a wonderful opportunity to get to know them and support them in prayer.
The Rector, Dr. Tomás Surlis, joined us for Holy Mass, which was celebrated by Fr. Chris to bring a wonderful gathering to a close. We now look forward to the upcoming congresses in Cashel, Armagh, and Tuam later in the year!
Upcoming Provincial Congresses:
Cashel – 5th September
Armagh – 26th September
Tuam to be arranged
