A Lenten Pastoral Letter from Bishop Leahy

Lent is a special time. It offers us forty days to take stock, take some steps, and take hold of our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ. It’s a time of conversion. 

Bishop of Limerick Brendan Leahy has asked that Lent this year be used as a commitment to step up care for our planet.

The #LivingLent initiative will take place on Facebook and will involve short daily suggestions based on the themes of fasting, prayer and almsgiving, which are the three pillars of the Lenten season.

A team of cycling enthusiasts will be taking part in the Limerick Lourdes Charity Cycle 2020, cycling from Nantes to Lourdes in aid of Cliona’s Foundation and the Limerick Lourdes Invalid Fund this coming Summer. 

Bookings are now open for the official Irish pilgrimage to the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress which will take place in Budapest, Hungary, from 13 – 20 September 2020.
