An Introduction to the Pastoral Work of the IRISH CATHOLIC BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE COMHDHÁIL EASPAG CAITLICEACH ÉIREANN Foreword An Introduction to the Pastoral Work of the IRISH CATHOLIC BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE COMHDHÁIL EASPAG CAITLICEACH ÉIREANN FOREWORD Dear Parishioner, The Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference warmly welcomes the honour bestowed on Ireland by the Holy Father, Pope Francis, by his choice of Dublin as host for the celebration of the 9th World Meeting of Families in 2018 in Ireland. Across the island of Ireland the Church eagerly awaits Pope Francis’ arrival to our country during which he will meet with local and international families participating in the World Meeting of Families on 25 and 26 August. In his 2016 apostolic exhortation, Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), Pope Francis identifies the joys and challenges faced by families in their daily lives. At the same time these experiences are also reflected in the life of the Church. As we all know, the family is good news indeed! This theme of service, humility and love of family is central to the mission and pastoral work of the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference. What does this mean in practice? All of us as Christians are invited to respond to our baptismal call to engage in ministry and service of the Gospel with others in the Christian community. The Church is a family of families which lives faith and radiates life (AL, 87). To achieve its mission, the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference – the assembly of bishops of Ireland – exercises certain pastoral offices for Christ’s faithful on the whole island of Ireland and in collaboration with the Universal Church. This enables bishops to exchange views and share their wisdom and experience in order to promote the Word of God and celebrate the Body of Christ. To serve the common good and the world around us the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference holds general meetings on a quarterly basis in Maynooth, Co Kildare, and is supported by a secretariat. The Bishops’ Conference consists of five Episcopal Commissions: Catholic Education and Formation; Pastoral Care; Planning, Communications and Resources; Social Issues and International Affairs; and Worship, Pastoral Renewal and Faith Development. These commissions include councils, initiatives, agencies and various working groups, committees and offices. They look at the signs of the times and, guided by the light of faith, accompany families in moments of grief, pain, joy and hope. The pastoral areas of outreach served by the bishops’ commissions include: catechesis, education, liturgy, vocations, ecumenism, immigrants, emigrants and prisoners overseas and their families, responding to drugs and alcohol abuse at parish level, marriage and family, marriage preparation, marriage enrichment, counselling, relationships and sexuality education, advocating a consistent ethic of life and care for those most at risk, our common home: the earth, overseas aid, missions, research and development, communications and publishing. All of these ministries support families and are part of the mission and message of Jesus Christ. They represent good news and grounds for hope in a world which earnestly searches for both. Our pastoral work is explained in detail in this booklet. At this joyous time for Catholics throughout our country I wish to express, on behalf of the bishops of Ireland, my personal gratitude for the work of missionary disciples around the country – lay people, religious and clergy – who generously give of their time and expertise. Their God-given gifts support the mission of the Church in so many ways. As part of our preparations for this faith-enriching occasion I invite you to join with me in praying the Official Family Prayer for the 2018 World Meeting of Families in Ireland (see page 5).

Bless us with the joy of love. Make us patient and kind, gentle and generous, welcoming to those in need. Help us to live your forgiveness and peace. Protect all families with your loving care, Especially those for whom we now pray: [We pause and remember family members and others by name] Increase our faith, Strengthen our hope, Keep us safe in your love, Make us always grateful for the gift of life that we share. This we ask, through Christ our Lord, Amen. Mary, mother and guide, pray for us. Saint Joseph, father and protector, pray for us. Saints Joachim and Anne, pray for us.

Chairperson: Bishop Brendan Leahy National Director: Ms Kate Liffey Columba Centre, Maynooth, Co Kildare Tel: 01-505 3000 Email: [email protected] Council for Doctrine The Council for Doctrine works with the Theological Committee and the Bioethics Consultative Group on matters relating to faith and morals. Chairperson: Archbishop Michael Neary Columba Centre, Maynooth, Co Kildare Tel: 01-505 3000 Bioethics Consultative Group The Bioethics Consultative Group advises the Episcopal Conference on questions related to bioethics and the ethics of healthcare. It has recently published, in partnership with the Council for Healthcare, a Code of Ethical Standards for Healthcare (Veritas, 2018). 6 Chairperson: Bishop Kevin Doran Secretary: Father Michael Shorthall St Patrick’s College, Maynooth, Co Kildare Tel: 01-708 6165 Council for Ecumenism and Dialogue The Council for Ecumenism advises the Episcopal Conference on ecumenical affairs in Ireland and maintains contact with the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, Rome. The council has a membership of approximately thirty- five, including episcopal members, a priest representative from each diocese, and people chosen for their competence and experience in the ecumenical field. Chairperson: Bishop Brendan Leahy Advisory Committee on Ecumenism Secretary: Father Gerard Garrett Cork Regional Marriage Tribunal, The Lough, Cork, Co Cork Tel: 021-496 3653 Council for Education (with Northern Ireland Commission for Catholic Education) The Council for Education articulates policy and vision for Catholic education in Ireland, North and South, on behalf of the Episcopal Conference. It has responsibility for the forward planning necessary to ensure the best provision for Catholic education in the country. It liaises with other Catholic education offices, the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Education in Northern Ireland. The Council advises the Conference on all government legislation as applied to education. It responds to and acts as spokesperson for the Episcopal Conference on issues related to the work of education. It seeks also to develop long-term strategies in education for the Episcopal Conference.

The five hundred plus ‘Maintained’ schools (nursery, primary and non-selective post-primary) were managed by the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools (a statutory body) while the thirty-two Voluntary Grammar schools had a considerable degree of independence. The Northern Ireland Commission for Catholic Education (NICCE) was set up in 2005 by the trustees in order to provide coordination of the Catholic sector in a time of rapid change.

  • General Synod 2015 – Primus' Charge He Was a Good Man, Full Of
    General Synod 2015 – Primus’ Charge He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Barnabas was of course the encourager. As we approach the work of our General Synod, we should be encouraged - we too should be full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Jesus tells us that 'we should love one another as I have loved you'. And the pinnacle of Christ-like love is the love than which there is no greater - to lay down one’s life for one's friends. I hear those words of scripture as themselves an encouragement to us - an encouragement to transcend what we expect of a General Synod; an encouragement to strive to act as a community of faith and of love as we transact our business - some of it routine and some of it about things which stir passions; an encouragement to sustain visible unity in Christ as we do God's work together. There are many things in the work which we shall do during the next few days which in themselves are encouraging. I think particularly of the development of the Scottish Episcopal Institute, the continuing development of the Whole Church Mission and Ministry Policy, the breadth of our interests and concerns as expressed in the work of the Church in Society Committee, the quality, faithfulness and the missional shape of our administration. The most significant challenge to us as a Christian community comes as we address the questions around Same-Sex Marriage. In this too, we should be full of the Holy Spirit and of faith - people who love and sacrifice for one another? I believe that that time has come when we must address this fundamental issue of our times.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF THE HOLY FATHER POPE JOHN PAUL II TO THE RECTOR, STAFF AND STUDENTS OF THE IRISH COLLEGE 28 March 1998 Your Grace, Dear Brother Priests, Dear Seminarians, It gives me great joy to welcome you, the Rector, Staff and Students of the Irish College, accompanied by the Archbishop of Armagh, as you celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the granting of Pontifical Status. I join you in thanking God for all that the College has represented for the Church in Ireland and for the Irish community in Rome since its foundation in 1628, and most particularly in the last half-century. It is enough to recall the names of those connected with the College to have an idea of its rich spiritual and cultural heritage: the founders, Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi and Father Luke Wadding; its martyr, Saint Oliver Plunkett; Ireland's first Cardinal, Paul Cullen; and the spiritual writer, Dom Columba Marmion. Their example of holiness and zeal should be an inspiration, especially to you seminarians, as you prepare to make the Gospel better known to the men and women of our time. Your years in Rome enable you to experience at first hand the universal dimension of the Church and to deepen the bonds of communion which unite you to the Bishop of Rome and Successor of Peter. Your understanding of the Catholic faith is enriched through the study of philosophy and theology, the discovery of the Christian monuments of this city, and daily contact with Christians from many lands. As future teachers of the faith, you must be able to face the complexity of the times and be in a position to respond to the fundamental questions affecting people's lives, questions which can only 2 receive a full and definitive response in the Gospel of Jesus Christ (cf.
