Where: Our Lady of Lourdes, Sean McDermott Street Lower, Dublin 1,
Ireland
Description: Matt Talbot Shrine is holding a special year of
planned events to commemorate the 90th anniversary of his death. Matt was only
28 years old when he took the radical decision to turn away from a life of
addiction and follow God's call. He is an example of what is possible in a world
that needs this more than ever.
A three day
parish mission will be held in Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Sean McDermott St, D1
at 7PM on Mar 25th – 27th. The speakers will be Br Barry Butler, an Alexian
Brother who has worked for many years with individuals and families suffering
from illness and addictions and David Barbieri, a former former heroin addict
and gang member who, for the last 18 years, has worked with Br Barry helping
others to change their lives. Each session ends with prayers for healing.
On Sunday
March 29th at 2PM there will be a Walk of Remembrance from the Matt Talbot
Memorial on Sean McDermott St to Our Lady of Lourdes Church. The walk will
include prayer for all those lost to addiction, suicide and illness. This will
be followed by mass celebrated by Fr Kieran McDermott at 3PM with Teen Spirit
providing music ministry.
