The Tarsus Scripture Summer School currently being held at Maynooth University is really excellent.

Kieran O’Mahony OSA: Hearers of the Word

It is interesting to see that Father O'Mahony's website https://tarsus.ie offers no means of making contact with him. Hence, my comment will be through this excellant website. Father O'Mahony states his intention is to confine his scriptural resource, for the ordinary people, to the set readings allocated to be read on Sundays and weekdays. It could be of interest to many people if some sessions were also devoted to those passages which rarely or never are heard read in Church. This might awaken a greater interest in the scriptures.

Brendan Hoban: Priests must usher in new era of lay ministers

Brendan you are spot on but how can bishops give a stronger lead on this? How can we grow corresponsibility? The clergy are still gatekeepers of others ministries.

Brendan Hoban: Priests must usher in new era of lay ministers
June 17 2025
DOM
Father Brendan has dramatically illustrated the critical crisis that exists for the Church to provide ordained priests for the future. There are a number of ways the shortage may be tackled. Ordained Deacons should be allowed to go forward for ordination to the priesthood irrespective of whether they are single or married. Some Priests should be allowed to have outside employment to support themselves and be available at weekends and possibly a few evenings a week to serve the people. Priestly celibacy should not be compulsory, it should be the choice of the candidate for ordination. It is important for bishops to think outside the box and rely on the Holy Spirit for inspiration and guidance. The possibility of ordination to the priesthood for women must be considered, the prime requirement being a vocation to serve.
