Bishop Fintan Gavin outlined the vision for the mission, encouraging the team to see their work as part of something much bigger as we prepare as a whole diocese for this once in a lifetime milestone event as we prepare for the Eucharistic procession in Cork City.

 

Over the last two days, our missionaries have been getting to know one another better, the city and the diocese. They had sessions with Sheila Kelleher, Coordinator for Youth Ministry, to help them prepare for the speaking at Masses this weekend. Mary Anne Collins, Coordinator for Faith Formation in Primary Schools, also worked with the team, supporting them in preparing for their visits to schools on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Each day our missionaries had time for Mass, prayer and formation as part of the mission experience.
