Recently a small working group have been meeting in response to the Universal Synod’s invitation to engage with those who feel ‘excluded or judged because of their marital situation, identity or sexuality.’ (Final Document of Universal Synod) This working group has focused particularly on LGBTQI+ and is a collaboration between the dioceses of Limerick and Killaloe. We are now delighted to announce that a gathering for prayer and reflection will take place on Thursday 1^st May, at 7.30p.m. in the JPII Oratory at the Crescent Shopping Centre. This gathering will include an opportunity to meet, listen and pray together and welcomes LGBTQI+ people, along with family members and allies.

For International Women’s Day 2025, we are coming together in community to celebrate Women of Spirit and Faith, Old and New, through the Spoken Word, Reflection, Music, Song and Verse.

We offer you the opportunity to hear and celebrate the voices of women from biblical times through to the voices of women today. We will explore not only the significance of their faith presence for their own time, but also how they can potentially speak to our lives and the life of our Church today.

Spaces limited so reserve your place by contacting Ann at

087 9304666 before Wednesday 5^th March.

In this short clip, Bishop Brendan highlights that hope is a precious gift, and we find inspiration by looking at those who have endured life's challenges and emerged as heroes of hope.
