The Stripping of the Altars
Seamus Ahearne visited his neighbours in Finglas West for the closing of their church.
“The symbolism of today was very moving. The closing of a Church brought people to Mass! ……..
A new world of God, is opening up. We do need to be very creative. Buildings help it happen. It will occur in a very different way. We can knock down some of the structures of religion and become architects of a very new and simple faith. Pope Francis expresses it well how our Church has to grow and develop. We need to focus on faith-building rather than brick-building.”
