15 Young Adults from Pittsburgh, PA, are traveling to Ireland this Summer to bring their joy in Christ and their witness through serving in Liturgies, pilgrimages of prayer, and authentic community.
Their group will be serving and ministering to other Young Adults, in Dublin Parish communities, for Sunday Masses and during the week they will encounter Irish culture and tradition at St. Kevin’s Way, Croagh Patrick, Dublin, and more!
Their vision of this trip is to build a relationship with Catholics in Dublin through participation in Liturgies, undertaking three pilgrimages through the country of Ireland, and through bearing our witness of Hope to the fullness of life in Christ.
They will come to Balally Parish on 20th July, 2017. We need to house them in our Parish. Please contact Parish office if you are able to offer accommodation.
