“If the priesthood has a better future, it has to be humanized; it has to find expression in better mutual support, collaboration and partnership. It has to free itself from the variant strains of clericalism such as sexism, paternalism, narcissism and superiority complex.”

    Don’t worry. No one will be turned away if not registered beforehand. It’s a rare opportunity to meet together outside of Dublin and to engage on matters pertaining to the good of the Church but also for the good of the planet! We are honoured to have both Fr Sean and Dympna and the young people speaking. Plenty to discuss and praying that we can all be challenged. As new Luxembourg Cardinal Hollerich reminds us,

Just a thought.
