On Wednesday 23rd October, a large crowd gathered in Ballybrown Parish Resource Centre for a talk given by Dr. Matthew Potter about John Henry Newman. This was followed by Mass celebrated by Bishop Fintan Monahan in Saint Joseph's Church Ballybrown.

We share a reflection by Bishop Robert Barron on the virtuous life of Pope Saint John Paul II, the heroic pope.

This past Sunday 125 people travelled with St. Saviour’s Parish to Knock for the annual Dominican Pilgrimage.

The evening is being organised by The Irish Institute for Pastoral Studies, The Department of Theology and Religious Studies, Mary Immaculate College in association with The parish community of Ballybrown Patrickswell

Congratulations to Bishop Donal Murray on the launch of his book, ‘Picking up The Shards’ last night at the Limerick Diocesan Centre.

On the final morning of the Pilgrimage, some of the Limerick delegation have come to the special mass of thanksgiving in St John Lateran Cathedral.

Bishop Leahy says a few words after Mass and then Maura Byrnes of Ballybrown describes the local celebrations taking place tomorrow
