Beginning c. Monday 16th February, small groups of adults, supported by Group Facilitators, Clergy and Catechists, will gather weekly in certain parishes of the Elphin and Achonry dioceses for an hour or so. During their time together they will read, ponder, discuss and pray with passages from the last twelve chapters of St Matthew’s Gospel.

Each group invites interested adults to join them, and if you are uncertain as to whether you should participate, you are most welcome on a come-and-see / taster-experience basis.

Established groups also look forward to extending a warm and friendly welcome to newcomers. READ MORE
