Our own age seems to be governed by illusion and deception. We have built a
whole culture based on appearances. Everything looks good, but scratch just
below the surface and you will discover little substance...We have grown so numb
to the realities of good and evil that lying and cheating have become almost
universally accepted....
Quotation from Rediscovering Catholicism which exploresthe importance of
the Catholic Faith in the modern world. Copies will be distributed in our
parish free ofcharge to all parishioners during Holy Week. We hope that this

3. gift will help you to rediscover the gift ofyour faith in a sometimesdifficult
and harsh Ireland.
