Adult Formation Events Autumn 2024
There will be an online webinar for the parishes of the Diocese of Raphoe on Thursday 12th September 2024 at 7pm regarding the ‘SYCAMORE’ programme. One of the directors, Dr. Susan Longhurst will give a presentation as to what it is about, how to use it in parish etc. It will conclude with a Q&A. Should you wish to explore more about Sycamore in the meantime, visit https://www.sycamore.fm/ Log in details, etc. will be sent nearer the time.
On Saturday 12th October 2024, there will be an ALPHA DAY presented by Alpha Ireland at St. Patrick’s Parish Centre, Donegal Town from 10.30am to 4pm . This will be open to all parishes in the Diocese. The day will include various talks and workshops etc for any parish that is interested in running the programme from a Catholic perspective.
On either Tuesday 24th September 2024 at 7.30pm, Sr. Cooey Fowler O.P. From Dominican Sisters of St. Joseph will present an evening at the Pastoral Centre in Letterkenny on the ‘ANCHOR‘ programme. This is a simple and foundational teaching about the essentials of the Faith, the Mass and the ways in which we live and pray that Faith. It can be used by any adult and is also valuable for parents, to help them hand on to their children the treasure of the Catholic Faith.
From Wednesday 4th September 2024, we will continue the online Adult Faith Formation programmes on Zoom. This was a great success back in May and there has been increased demand for it from more parishes and parishioners around the Diocese. We will run this on a continuous basis throughout the year exploring various courses.
The RCIA for those wishing to be formed for entry to the Catholic Church will begin on Monday 16th September 2024 at the Pastoral Centre in Letterkenny and will continue each Monday evening for 23 weeks.
