October 2024 Gazette

Our October 2024 issue is out now, and full of great news and features from across the island.

We report on the devastating fire that ravaged the Church of the Holy Name, Greenisland, Diocese of Connor, featuring eyewitness photographs of the fire, as well as a look at the response from the diocese and the wider community.

Just in time for Hallowe’en, Christopher West discusses the horror genre as ‘a mirror through which we confront our anxieties, hopes, and ultimately, what it means to be truly human’.

We celebrate creative endeavours around the island, with news of the launch of an exhibition of the Red Book of Ossory in St Canice’s Cathedral, Kilkenny, as well as a report on the 20th anniversary of the intercultural Discovery Gospel Choir.

This month’s Diocesan Focus is on Tuam, Limerick, and Killaloe, and CIYD announces Luke Hawkins as their new Youth Ministry Development Officer for the Southern Region.

All this and more – including regular features such as Clergy News, Mothers’ Union, Food, and Gardening – in your October 2024 Gazette!
