Reforms of Pope Francis and the Church in Ireland

The impact of Pope Francis’ radical reform agenda and  how it will change the face of the Church in Ireland will be the subject of two key meetings next week.

Highly-acclaimed expert on Pope Francis, Dr Austen Ivereigh, will address two gatherings in Dublin and Limerick. Dr Ivereigh, who has recently completed The Great Reformer: Francis and the Making of a Radical Pope, will explore what the Pope’s teaching and ministry might mean in particular for Irish Catholics.

Sponsored by The Irish Catholic, he will also preview this year’s synod on the family when controversial issues around marriage and sexuality are set to be on the agenda.

Dr Ivereigh will speak at Avila Retreat Centre, Donnybrook, Dublin 4 on Tuesday March 4 at 7.30pm and the following night, Wednesday March 5, at 7.30pm in Mary Immaculate College, Limerick. Admission is €5. To pre-book, please contact Geraldine on 01-687 4095 or email events@irishcatholic.ie
