The ministry of Jesus was not about establishing structures. During the three or four years of his earthly ministry, much of his time was spent inviting people into relationship with God and forming disciples. At the end of St. Matthew’s Gospel, we read that he told those who were gathered with him to “go make disciples” (Mt. 28:19). That is the mission of the Church. If we have buildings, or management structures, these are not an end in themselves. All these things are of value if they serve the mission of the Church, which is to live as Jesus lived and to form new disciples.” Bishop Kevin Doran – Discipleship and Mission In Changing Times (Pastoral Letter 2020)

Volunteer catechists
Commissioning of Catechists Fifteen volunteer catechists will be commissioned for service in the Diocese of Elphin, by Bishop Kevin Doran, at Mass in Sligo Cathedral this Sunday 27th September at 4.00pm. Known as “Partners in the Gospel”, the Catechists are lay parishioners from all walks of life and from parishes all over the Diocese, who have completed an intensive four year formation programme, including academic studies in Theology and Catechetics at St Angela’s College NUIG. The mission of the Partners in the Gospel will be to provide opportunities for adult learning at parish level, which will help the whole parish community to grow into a deeper lived relationship with Jesus Christ and to become, in the words of Pope Francis, “missionary disciples”. There will be two teams of catechists, corresponding to the two regions of the Diocese. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, only the catechists and a limited number of invited guests will be in the Cathedral for Mass. However, we do wish to invite as many people as possible to join us in prayer for the Mass online at www.sligocathedral.ie
