The theme of this Conference is key to ensuring a better society for our members and all on the island of Ireland. If we can work together and implement the motions we pass over the next 3 days we will move our society in the direction of the aspirations of the 1916 Proclamation. An Island of equals whose State works for its citizens. In order to do this we must organise and politicise our members, organise so that we are at the forefront of workers’ rights and standing up against all social injustices.

Announcing the good news, Administrator of Westport Father Charlie McDonnell said, “It’s been a different and a difficult year, a year in which we have had to hand so much over to the Lord, to place so much in His hands. Pilgrimage has always been a strong vehicle for both petition and thanksgiving and, in 2021, above any year, we are delighted to offer and extended Reek Pilgrimage acknowledging and giving thanks for the fact that we journey very much under the protective hand of God. This year, due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, it would be impossible to facilitate the pilgrimage on one day only so I am arranging to greatly extend provision of the Sacraments for pilgrims throughout the month of July. It is my dear hope that this unprecedented and adventurous undertaking will provide all those who wish to come to Ireland’s Holy Mountain as pilgrims Photo: Brenda Drumm to do so safely and in their own time." Father Mc Donnell went on to say, "For generations, the annual Croagh Patrick Pilgrimage has held a central place in the life of the Church in Ireland and I am delighted that an extended version will be available next month.
