Jeff Cavins is coming to Drogheda.
What: “The Joy of the Bible”
When: Wednesday 18th November at 7:30 P.M.
Where: The Main Theatre in The Barbican Centre, William Street, Drogheda.
Admission: FREE – donations may be made on the night to help defray expenses.
Jeff Cavins is the creator of the popular Great Adventure Bible Study Programme which has been used by more that five thousand parishes in the United States, Ireland, and other countries. He is a founding host of EWTN’s weekly programme Life on the Rock, author of several books, co-editor of the Amazing Grace Series and of Walking with God, which gives an overview of the Bible.
Many from Armagh diocese had the opportunity to experience his Bible Timeline series as Bible in a Day in Dromantine earlier this year, and parishioners in the Dungannon, Dundalk and Drogheda areas have since gathered to study the Timeline series over four weeks as Bible in a Month.
Jeff is coming to Ireland for one week only, to address gatherings in Maynooth (Monday 16th) and Belfast (Saturday 21st), and we are delighted to have him with us in Drogheda on Wednesday 18th for what promises to be an exciting presentation titled The Joy of the Bible. We highly recommend this evening to anyone curious about the Bible, and interested in learning more. It promises to be of great benefit to Bible Study Groups, to Lay Ministers of the Word, to members of Lectio Divina prayer groups, etc., but Jeff’s easy style is accessible to all, and all are most welcome.
This is a once-off opportunity to witness a presentation by Jeff Cavins in person in Drogheda. There is no admission charge, but donations may be made on the evening, if desired, to help defray expenses.

CATHEDRALS COMBINE TO SPONSOR LECTURE
On Tuesday 24th November, the Armagh Cathedrals Partnership will host a lecture by Dr Johnston McMaster, “Still up for the Challenge? Reconciliation in a Crisis Society.” The lecture will begin at 8.00 p.m. in the Synod Hall of St Patrick’s Cathedral, off Cathedral Road.
Dr McMaster writes, “Seventeen years on from the hope-filled Belfast Agreement, Northern Ireland is still a long way from being a reconciled society. Things have changed for the better, but we remain a society limping from one crisis to another. There is a political inability to deal with the past and with sectarianism, both failures preventing the future. There is no vision of a common good. Faith communities are an integral part of these struggles and indeed failures.”
If people of faith are still up for the challenge of reconciliation, he continues, “It means re-imagining and re-thinking reconciliation as well as renewing our vision and engagement. In the context of a crisis society, this lecture will explore the centrality of social justice to the Judeo-Christian vision of reconciliation.” It will be followed by an opportunity for discussion.
A minister of the Methodist Church in Ireland, Dr McMaster is a Senior Research Writer and Educator with the Ethical and Shared Remembering Project, 1912-1922, through the Junction, Derry Londonderry. For sixteen years he was Director of the Education for Reconciliation Programme of the Irish School of Ecumenics in Northern Ireland and Border Counties. He remains as an Adjunct Assistant Professor with the Irish School of Ecumenics, Trinity College Dublin.
Looking forward to the event, Fr Peter McAnenly, said, “I look forward to hearing Johnston speak again. He has done extensive work on promoting reconciliation and peace building over the years. He reminds us that the work of reconciliation is a relationship-centric process and there must be trust built between sides for reconciliation to occur.”
Dean Gregory Dunstan said, “From a profoundly Christian perspective, Dr McMaster offers a penetrating diagnosis of our inability to recognize ‘the things of our peace’. We expect a challenging evening.”

Seminary
Christmas Concert
Come to prepare for Christmas
with the seminarians of the
Redemptoris Mater House of Formation
of the Archdiocese of Armagh
and support Vocation to the Priesthood
On Thursday 10 December 2015 at 7:30 p.m., the seminarians of the Redemptoris Mater House of Formation of the Archdiocese of Armagh will do a Christmas Concert in the Church of St Malachy, Armagh to prepare for Christmas.
Redemptoris Mater House of Formation is an institution of the Archdiocese of Armagh. It was founded in 2012 to form priests for the New Evangelisation who are both diocesan and missionary. The seminarians come from the Neocatechumenal Way and will be ordained as priests of the Archdiocese of Armagh. St John Paul II, who opened the first of these new seminaries in 1988, gave it the name Mother of our Redeemer (Redemptoris Mater in Latin), his favourite title of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The seminarians live in Dundalk with Fr. Giuseppe Pollio and Fr. Neil Xavier O’Donoghue, who are responsible for their formation. The first priest who was ordained from this seminary is Fr Maciej who is working now as CC in Drogheda.
When, please God, the other seminarians will be ordained, they will be incardinated into the Archdiocese of Armagh and serve in the parishes of the Archdiocese.
They will also be available, at the discretion of the Archbishop of Armagh, to serve as missionaries, both in other parts of Ireland and internationally, thus allowing the Archdiocese of Armagh to have a new missionary thrust answering the Holy Father’s call for the New Evangelisation.
