There was energy and a positive atmosphere, despite the weather, at the first of three Information Meetings for the Year of Prayer, Listening, and Discernment in the diocese.
A series of three information meetings for priests, parish leadership teams and chaplaincies are being held this weekend and next.
The afternoon in Cork was proceeded by a time of prayer and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in Our Lady Crowned Church, Mayfield.
The meetings set the context for the year ahead and outline the next steps for Parishes and Families of Parishes which will be taken in the Spring.
