Evangelium
Spreading the richness of the Catholic faith
The main activity of the Evangelium project is to run an annual conference, each summer for ages 18-35, bringing together excellent speakers from inside and outside the Irish Catholic church, showcasing the breadth and depth of the wisdom and beauty of our Catholic faith, in order to support young adults to grow in wisdom and understanding. We are dedicated to building a foundation to spread the Good News to all, Evangelium hopes to galvanize the faithful and once again to reignite the missionary zeal Ireland was once renowned for.
The FIRE Project
The FIRE project offers a framework for parish adult faith education tailored to meet the pastoral and financial needs of each parish, and crucially, also offers the support personnel (catechists, coordination, administration, training etc) to implement it. Using existing catechetical resources, the Fire Project will develop a faith formation framework for client parishes, based around the liturgical year and strongly utilising existing times of gathering / engagement (sacramental preparation, Easter, Christmas, Ash Wednesday, funerals, ministry leaders etc) to provide and grow a vibrant faith education for Catholic faithful, mindful of the real life context and characteristics of the Catholic faith in Ireland at the present time.
