The weekend marks the start of the Church’s special Year dedicated to Consecrated Life. The Consecrated Life is a gift to the Church, born in the Church, grows in the Church, is always orientated to the Church. Please keep in your prayers throughout this year, the many Sisters, Monks, Nuns and Religious Priests and Brothers who enrich the Diocese in so many ways. There will be a special celebration at the Cathedral with Bishop Declan on Sunday 1st February 2015 at 6pm to gather the Religious Communities together with the Diocesan family in celebration of the Consecrated Life.
