Meeting of ACP; Cork and Ross

The next meeting of the ACP in Cork & Ross takes place on Tuesday 12 April at 2.30 pm at Ovens parish Centre. Tony Flannery from the Leadership team will facilitate the meeting and will report on what the Team is planning and doing. Tony will  be interested in feedback from Cork & Ross also, and will want us to share our ideas on initiatives they are pursuing.
During the meeting we will share the results of the survey we conducted with priests in the Munster dioceses with a view to informing the Vatican-appointed visitor on the realities of our lives.
This meeting is aimed at ACP members in Cork & Ross, of which there are 34 (names below), but priests thinking of joining are also welcome to come. Please, spread the word!
Bernard Cotter, Michael Kelleher, Eoin Whooley

Seamus Ahearne writes about the necessity of the ACP.
“I think the ACP exists not just to make noise or to be prophetic but to add ballast and communion to the collective in ministry. We are at breaking point as priests. We will fall apart if we stay apart.”
” the ACP is to reach out and call attention to the tiredness and to the ageing of the diocesan priests. What is the support structure for them? Creating clusters and adding on more work to do cannot be the answer. Creative and imaginative ideas are necessary (as Francis said). We cannot go on as we are.”
“The ACP isn’t just a vehicle for the journalists to use or an association of renegades. The ACP cannot be about the big noisy issues – nor can we forever be fighting big causes. It is the essentials of faith that are our interests and the ordinary issues of day to day life.”
