Gat to see the next chapter in the G.R.A.C.E. adventure unfolding.

Very moving words and testimony from Fr Shane McCaughey on @morningireland about the awful tragedy in Co. Louth. In the darkest moments, it’s always priests who articulate the pain of families and communities.

"I am convinced that at the heart of this work lies the retrieval of our baptismal identity ... helping the baptized recognize in themselves a call from God to share actively in Christ's mission" - Bishop Niall Coll on the @synodalpathway WATCH - https://t.co/Y2EvJPs0JA
