Church lights to remain on and bells to ring as Easter vigil brings hope and light to all in these dark times – Limerick Bishop Brendan Leahy

20 young people from across the Limerick Diocese have been working hard to put together this video so that we can still pray the Stations of the Cross together on Good Friday. Each station was taken by a different young person who sat with the station and then wrote a reflective piece in response. 

This year's series of Lenten talks follow the Gospel readings for each Sunday of Lent.

Is lá an-gnóthach é Céadaoin an Luaithrigh don Athair Mícheál de Liostúin, ach bhí a dhóthain ama aige inniu le cuairt speisialta a thabhairt ar Ghaelscoil Sheoirse Clancy.

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.

In the Christian tradition, the forty days is understood to refer to a time of intense prayer and preparation
