Archbishop Eamon Martin
Armagh Diocesan Cursillo will celebrate the annual Mass in Preparation for Christmas with Archbishop Eamon Martin on Friday 12th December at 7.30pm in St Patrick’s Church, Dundalk.
Cursillo was first introduced to the Archdiocese of Armagh in 1987 by Fr John B. Duffy. Since that time hundreds of people, both laity and clergy, across the Archdiocese have participated in Cursillo Weekends.
Over the past year the Cursillo have been reflecting on their role in the work of the New Evangelisation called for by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and more recently by Pope Francis. With this in mind they have established their presence on Facebook and Twitter, bringing the message of Cursillo to social media. They have also been attempting to contact everyone who has made a Cursillo Weekend in the Archdiocese since its introduction in 1987 and have already contacted nearly 500 people.
In a statement the Cursillo said: “We would like to extend a special invitation to everyone from the Archdiocese of Armagh who has made a Cursillo Weekend to join us for this special Mass. An invitation is also extended to everyone who may be interested in the work of Cursillo in the Archdiocese to join us in Dundalk on 12th December where there will be members present to give information. All are welcome to join us for this Mass, followed by refreshments.”
