Venerable Matt Talbot: Patron of "Rio in Dublin"

Coinciding with “World Youth Day” (http://worldyouthday.com/) which begins tomorrow, July 23rd to July 28th, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and led by Pope Francis, “Rio in Dublin” is a faith event 

scheduled for July 26-28 for those who were unable to travel to Rio. (See information at http://www.evangelisation.ie/category/youth-young-adults/rio-in-dublin/,  http://www.youth2000.ie/events/996-rio-in-dublin.html, and http://www.evangelisation.ie/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Rio-in-Dublin-2013-final-draft-3.pub_.pdf)

 

While WYD in Rio has a list of Saints and Blessed chosen as patrons and intercessors, “Rio in Dublin” has its own list of patrons, including Venerable Matt Talbot (http://rioindublinblog.blogspot.com/, which should expand awareness of him among those 18-35 years of age.
