  • Sharing the Good News January 2020
    Issue 58 January 2020 Fr Paul Dempsey appointed Bishop of Achonry Diocese Pope Francis appointed Father Paul Dempsey, PP of Newbridge Parish in the Diocese of Kildare & Leighlin, as Bishop of the Diocese of Achonry on 27 January. Speaking in the Cathedral of the Annunciation and Saint Nathy, following the announcement, Father Dermot Meehan, Administrator of Achonry Diocese said, “Today, Father Paul Dempsey comes into our assembly as Christ’s messenger, having accepted his appointment by Pope Francis as pastor of the people and priests of Achonry. We warmly welcome his appointment and, on behalf of the priests, religious and people of the diocese, I thank him for accepting it. It is a reason for rejoicing for us in Achonry that a priest of Father Paul’s calibre and extensive experience in pastoral ministry in his native diocese of Kildare and Leighlin comes to us as our new bishop. We assure him of our prayers as he prepares for his new role and we ask God to bless him with joy, contentment and peace in his ministry among us.” Speaking to the congregation of almost 800, gathered in the cathedral for the announcement, Father Dempsey said, “I’m sure you can understand how daunting it is to take on the role of bishop in a new diocese. I’m conscious of my own unworthiness and sinfulness as I take on this role. I ask you to be patient with me as I endeavour to get to know the priests, people, deacons and religious of the diocese in the coming weeks and months.” The Episcopal Ordination of the new Bishop of Achonry will take place on 19 April 2020, Divine Mercy Sunday.

Now in its sixth year, the popular online Advent Calendar offers resources for the parish, school and home which can be accessed behind a virtual door each day during the season of Advent.

The unique interactive Advent Calendar has family prayers and suggestions for #LivingAdvent - acts of kindness or charity that all of us are encouraged to undertake during the month of December. The calendar also shares tips on how families can care for creation, our common home, by having a more sustainable Christmas. Welcoming the calendar Archbishop Eamon said, “I invite everyone during this Season of Advent to enjoy our online calendar. It is there for people not just to reflect on the content personally but to share on social media. At this busy time I encourage everyone to take a few moments of pause to reflect on the true message of Christmas which is that Christ is alive and is our hope.” Trócaire launch ‘Gift of Trees’ to support families in Africa and Asia Garden designer Diarmuid Gavin, along with students from Scoil Aoife Community National School, Dublin, helped to launch Trócaire’s Christmas ‘Gifts of Love’ for Christmas 2019.

  • All Saints, Drimoleague, and Catholic Visual Culture Under Bishop Cornelius Lucey in Cork, 1952-9
    All Saints, Drimoleague, and Catholic visual culture under Bishop Cornelius Lucey in Cork, 1952-9 Richard Butler University of Wisconsin-Madison [email protected] 1316 E Dayton St, #1 Madison, 53703, Wisconsin, U.S.A. Abstract All Saints, Drimoleague, designed by Cork architect Frank Murphy and built in 1954-6, was the first church built in a modernist architectural style in the Cork and Ross diocese since Christ the King, Turner’s Cross, in the 1920s. It contains a very unusual mural on the sanctuary wall and a distinguished series of stained glass windows by Harry Clarke Studios. This article sets out a framework for the study of the ten new churches that Bishop Cornelius Lucey oversaw during his first years in charge of the diocese of Cork and Ross. It argues that one of them, All Saints, Drimoleague, is a building of national importance and it places its artwork within the broader context of Catholic politics and social teaching in the diocese in the years before Vatican II. 1 Pl. 1. All Saints, Drimoleague, exterior photograph from the west (R. Butler). This article has three main aims: firstly, to set out a framework for the study of Bishop Dr Cornelius Lucey’s new churches in the Cork and Ross diocese in the years before Vatican II; secondly, to argue that All Saints, Drimoleague (Pl. 1), is a building of national importance on account of both its architecture and its decorative arts; and thirdly, to place this artwork within the broader context of Catholic politics and social teaching of the time.
