#YouthForum19 Rome
Our 3 days of panels, assemblies, working groups and open forums have come to an end. It’s been quite the experience and lots to hear. Over the days we looked at the process up to the synod, Christus Vivit & where to go next and what can be done at local level. I also had the pleasure of being a moderator of one of the working groups which was a very unique experience. Not only that, but I got to be a writer of our Vatican press release of what we have experienced the last 3 days. 250 young people from over 100 countries are represented and the common experiences are more than we expected. We had an evening of entertainment which turned out to be quite the wild night! We have a really important day in the morning so stay tuned for that….!
The week of events in Rome for the #YouthForum19 came from the publication of Christus Vivit. You can read Christus Vivit by clicking here: Christus Vivit

Eco-Parish Team
The Parish Eco Team is slowly making progress and new information will be around the church over the coming days and weeks. On Easter Monday to mark International Earth Day, we began the planting of wildflowers in the garden at St Kevin’s to help create better biodiversity and aid in pollination. It’s the first small step of many more to come, and updates will be posted when we see some updates to give! Sincere thanks to all who took part.

A ROOM AT THE INN?
“The first human problem which the infant Jesus faced on earth was a lack of shelter. As Christians, our obligation to people who are homeless or poorly housed is unequivocal for it is Christ who is homeless: He is a room at the inn? the elderly couple in a damp house; He is the lone parent in a B&B; He is the Traveller moved on from a site. The Incarnation makes explicit God’s commitment to walking with humanity in joy and in suffering.”
As the issues with housing and the numbers presenting as homeless reach record numbers, the Irish Bishops’ Conference has released a Pastoral Letter on Housing and Homelessness. To read the full text of the Pastoral Letter on Housing and Homelessness, please click A Room at the Inn?
