...to speak at a conference organised by All Saints Church, Ballymeena, on 'Women and the Church'. Large attendance. An excellent introductory speech by Baroness O'Loane, who spoke of great Christian women who had influenced and inspired her...and the parish priest spoke extremely well, giving the teaching of the Church with specific references to John Paul and Mulieris Dignitatem etc...
Earlier, a weekday Mass in the church with a substantial congregation - certainly over 150 - and when I remarked on this I learned that was smaller than usual as a coachload of people had gone to Knock on pilgrimage...
Sunday - a journey to the coast, glorious countryside, a crowded Mass with lots of families...
Next time you hear that the Catholic Church in Ireland is dying...it isn't.
