Holy Week in Sligo, 2005 -A Bridge to The Cross-

Holy Week 2005 was a very special time in our three groups of parishes in Sligo. We very much appreciate the visit of a team from the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe led by Bishop Ken Good who stayed with us and ministered amongst us for the week.

The intention was to provide an attractive programme of events, activities and services for all ages in order to encourage a deeper and more personal committment to Christ amonst all within and outside of our community. The week has been declared a resounding success!
