MYTH & HISTORY LECTURE
PROGRAMME 2019-2020
Lecture Programme takes place in Castlecoote House,
on Thursday, 24th October at 8pm. Life in
contemporary Ireland is enriched by the remarkable flourishing of festivals all
over the country celebrating the richness of Irish culture, history, and
talent. But we do not celebrate our Irish Christian heritage. Catholicism world
wide is characterised by uplifting liturgical celebrations and bright public
festivals–except in Ireland. Can this be changed? Is it possible to celebrate
in the shadow of recent revelations of institutional and clerical abuse? If so,
how? for more information go to www.castlecootehouse.com
