Worth a watch

And a clip of Ian Wright talking about the importance of a teacher in his life

Let us dream (4 corners Festival)

You can view the video Fr. Colm mentions in this week's bulletin below:

"Last Sunday was the 50th anniversary of a bleak day in the history of ‘The Troubles’. However, wonderful initiatives of reconciliation have been part of those 50 years. You might like to watch a powerful presentation by Pope Francis’ biographer, Austin Ivereigh, at the launch of one such initiative. You can get it on YouTube. Leanne will also have the link on the parish website. Its title is “4 Corners Festival”."
