#DareToHope Young Adult Faith Gathering: Saturday, June 14th

If you are 18 – 30 years old, you are welcome to a faith gathering of young adults Dare to Hope that will be held at Knock Shrine on Saturday, 14 June, and hosted by the Irish Bishops’ Conference in collaboration with Knock Shrine.

This dynamic and prayerful gathering will involve expert speakers, sharing faith experiences and conclude with Mass to be celebrated by Bishop Fintan Gavin, Bishop of Cork & Ross, at Knock Basilica .  For those attending places can be booked for €20, and the event will be held in the Youth Village here at Knock Shrine.

 

 

Speaking ahead of the young adult faith gathering in Knock, Bishop Gavin – who also serves as chair of the Bishops’ Council for Pastoral Renewal and Adult Faith Development – said

“In a world where young people are searching for purpose and belonging, this gathering offers a space to encounter Christ, explore faith, and find hope together in community.  All are welcome.”

The keynote address will be delivered by Fr Conor McDonough OP ,  a Dominican friar, currently engaged in doctoral research at the University of Galway.

After studies in science and theology, he worked as a teacher, before entering the Order of Preachers in 2009.  

He teaches theology at the Dominican studium in Dublin’s north inner city, and has a particular passion for telling the story of Irish Christianity in all its richness.

Throughout the day interactive and reflective workshops will include:

Serving Jesus on the Edge

Breaking Open the Word of God

How to Speak About Our Faith

Reconciliation Service
