Bible Study
Dean Cliff has been running an online Bible Study (using Zoom) since the Covid Pandemic, and we have looked at three gospels, Acts and Romans. This autumn we are going to look at Philippians and Ephesians which are some of Paul’s letters to the churches. We meet on Tuesday evenings from 8-9.15pm. If you would like to find out more, please contact Dean Cliff on dean@rosscathedral.ie.
Youth Group
We meet once a month on a Saturday night from 7.30-9.30pm. There is a variety of activities planned where we can have an enjoyable evening with our friends and learn something about our Christian Faith.
Mid Week Holy Communion
On the last Thursday of each month at 10.30am there is a Holy Communion Serivce in St. Fachtna's Cathedral.
At these services, the prayers that have been left by visitors to the Cathedral on the prayer tree during the previous month will be dedicated. See diary section of our newsletter for dates.
Taizé Service
This is an ecumenical serivce that is shared between St. Fachtna's Cathedral and St. Fachtna's Roman Catholic Church on the first Wednesday of every month at 8pm. It is a reflective serivce with readings, music, silence and prayers. Check our Parish Newsletter for the location of the next Taizé Service.
Children's Ministry
We run a Summer Holiday Club this summer and we are in the process of planning children's ministry throughout the year. We are looking for leaders and helpers to get involved.
Each month we are running Messy Church, see the Parish Newsletter for the date of the next Messy Church.
We also have an All-Age service in St. Fachtna's Cathedral on the second Sunday of each month.
Table Tennis
On Friday evenings (Starting in October and Finishing at the end of April) we have table tennis in the Cathedral Hall.
Juniors (under 18's) from 7-8.15pm
Adults from 8-10pm.
Mother's Union
Ross has a Mothers' Union branch that meets once a month from September to May. The purpose of the Mothers Union is to support marriage and family life. Details of their meetings are in our parish newsletter.
Bell Ringing
St. Fachtna's Cathedral has a ring of 6 bells in the tower. We are currently training up a new band of ringers and are looking for volunteers from the community who would be interested in learning how to ring the bells. We practice every Thursday evening from 6.00-7.30pm. Anyone from the age of 12 upwards is welcome to come along on a Thursday night to see what is involved. Contact Dean Cliff for further information.
Alpha Course
Would you like to learn more about the basics of the Christian Faith? That is what the Alpha Course is all about. On Thursday evenings from 8-9.30pm in the Harbour Bar in Leap we will watch a short video, which will be followed by exploring the day’s theme through small group discussion over tea/coffee. This is being run between the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic Church. We will be starting on the 3rd of October. If you would like more information or would like to book a place, please let me know.
The Alpha Course was developed to help people explore who Jesus is and allow them to ask questions about the Christian faith. Some of the topics that are covered are:
Who is Jesus? Why did he die? How can I have faith? How to pray? Why should I read the Bible? What about evil? Who is the Holy Spirit? Does God heal today?
If you would like to join us for the Alpha Course in Leap, please let Dean Cliff know.
