  • Walking Together in Faith… Sunday April 14Th Is Palm Sunday and Marks the Beginning of Holy Week
    Established 1967 www.lucannewsletter.ie Sub. 80c Sunday 14th April 2019 Walking together in faith… Sunday April 14th is Palm Sunday and marks the beginning of Holy Week. During Holy Week Christians celebrate the saving events of the passion and death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, culminating in our celebration of his glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday. The four Christian Churches in Lucan will each mark these days according to their own traditions but at the heart of each manner of celebration is the saving reality of Christ’s sacrifice for our sake, a true point of shared faith and solidarity that transcends historical divisions. Each Good Friday the Lucan churches come together to walk in an expression of shared faith behind the Cross of Jesus. The walk begins at 12.00 noon when we assemble in St. Mary’s Catholic Church for scripture reading and reflection with some hymns. The walk then moves down the hill to the Methodist Church – but this year because of ongoing work in the Methodist church we will assemble in the small park opposite to continue the scripture sharing and reflections. We then proceed down to Lucan Presbyterian Church where we pause once again to share the Word and reflect. Our final destination is St. Andrew’s Church of Ireland where we conclude our scripture journey and prayers of reflection, and where thanks to the hospitality of the congregation at St. Andrew’s we share a cuppa before returning home. It is a special moment each year and one that we would encourage members of each congregation to make a special effort for.

It is intended as a short briefing on the functioning of the Dáil and a simple explanation of specific areas that may be of interest to people operating in the community/NGO sector in attempting to make the best use of the Dáil. This briefing document is produced as a result of the EAPN Focus on Poverty in Ireland project, which started in December 2006. This project aimed to raise awareness of poverty and put poverty reduction at the top of the political agenda, while also promoting understanding and involvement in the social inclusion process among people experiencing poverty. This Guide is intended as an accompanying document to the EAPN Guide to Understanding and Engaging with the European Union. The overall aim in producing these two guides is to inform people working in the community and voluntary sector of how to engage with the Irish Parliament and the European Union in influencing policy and voicing their concerns about poverty and social inclusion issues.
