This year the gospel readings that we will for the most part be proclaimed at Sunday Mass will be taken from the Gospel of Luke. To mark the Year of Luke the Adult Religious Education Office is running a workshop in Myross Wood on Saturday 6th March 2010 and in Blackrock Parish Centre on Saturday 13th March 2010 to introduce an easy to use four night programme that parishes might like to use in their own communities to learn a little more about St Luke’s Gospel. Modelled on the highly successful Little Rock Scripture Study Programme in the United States this short courses offers people a chance to come together and learn with and from each other through sharing in small groups and concise study notes. All the materials for the programme will be provided free of charge by the diocesan office for Adult Religious Education. For more information please contact the Adult Religious Education Office.

Plans have been developed to nominate pastoral leadership groups for the first time in more parishes including Dunmanway, Skibbereen and in Rath and the Islands.
Steering groups are working n this parishes towards having new groups nominated before the summer.
New members have also been nominated recently to replace outgoing assemblies and pastoral councils in Ovens, Clontead, Carraig na bhFear and Drimoleague. The new parish assemblies have been taking part in formation programmes provided for each parish group by the Pastoral Development Office.
During the Spring and early Summer, members of new pastoral councils and parish assemblies will replace groups whose three-year term has expired in several parishes including: Schull, Caheragh, Carrigaline, Courceys, Togher, Watergrasshill, Mahon, Wilton and Farranree.
