This exhibition and experience has been planned to give us all a new energy around prayer in our daily and family lives. We hope Confirmation Classes will come along to be part of this living, praying experience.
Monday 26th – Friday 30 th January 2015
Saturday 31st January – Wednesday 4th February 2015
The Launch of the Year of Consecrated Life in the Archdiocese of Armagh will take place on Sunday, 1 February 2015 in St Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh at the 11.00 am Mass.
The Religious Communities of the diocese have been invited to this Mass to celebrate the World Day of Consecrated Life.
The ‘Rise of the Roses’ group will also be present and Archbishop Eamon will be taking this opportunity to launch their exciting plans.
It will give us all an opportunity to give thanks and pray to God for the great gift which Consecrated Life is to the Church and to the world.
Archbishop Eamon is mindful that being a Sunday, it could be difficult for you to be present, however, should this be of interest to you, or anyone in your parish, please join us at the Mass.
Pope Francis is asking for the Church’s Religious to ‘wake up the world’ through their testimony. Let us pray that the world will reciprocate and ‘wake up’ to the existence of Religious and how they serve the Church, the community, the people and various other charities and institutions and how the world would be a much poorer place without them.
This initiative was set up by Armagh Diocesan Youth Commission (ADYC) and our hopes are to create a pilgrimage experience for senior pupils (YEAR GROUP) within Colaiste Ris, St. Vincent’s Secondary School, and St. Mary’s College. Here at ADYC we are developing youth ministry in many ways. This initiative is a way of linking school, parish and diocese together in a joint project.
We hope to give each young person an experience of each church they visit, to learn about faith and consecrated life in Dundalk. Each school will be welcomed by ADYC volunteers and accompanied by teachers from the schools. The pupils from the schools will begin the Camino by walking towards their nearest church. After finishing in the fifth church all pupils, teachers and volunteers will gather in St. Patrick’s for a prayer service and presenting of the Pilgrim Certificates.
Please see below timetable for the forthcoming pilgrim walk.
If you book your place before 7th February the cost will be £30, but book after 7th February then the cost will be £35. See poster for more details.

VOCATION PRAYER
Lord, make me a better person, more considerate towards others, more honest with myself, more faithful to you. Make me generous enough to want to do your will, whatever it may be. Help me find my true vocation in life and grant that through it, I may find happiness myself and bring happiness to others. We pray through Christ our Lord, AMEN
