14. Diocesan Pilgrimage to the 50th Eucharistic Congress in Dublin, Ireland June 4-13, 2012

The Diocese of Rockville Centre is sponsoring a pilgrimage to the 50th Eucharistic Congress which will be held in Dublin, Ireland under the leadership of Bishop John C. Dunne, auxiliary Bishop of our Diocese.  The dates are June 4 - 13, 2012.  Msgr. Jim McNamara, pastor at Holy Cross Church in Nesconset, is coordinating the pilgrimage events.  This pilgrimage is open to everyone.

Our pilgrimage will begin with some touring in the western part of Ireland and will end with the first three days of the Eucharistic Congress.  Since Bishop Dunne's parents came from Castlebar, we are designing this pilgrimage around his family roots in the west of Ireland.  This will enable us to visit some well-known sites (like the Cliffs of Moher and Kylemore Abbey) but also to take advantage of local places of interest that will introduce us to the richness of Irish culture and heritage. 

Travel arrangements are being made through 206 Tours in Hauppauge.  If you wish to have a brochure sent to you, you can contact Eva at 206 Tours at 631-361-4644 or eva@206tours.com. A limited number of brochures are available in your parish office.  You can also access the brochure at: Pilgrimages.com/bishopdunne
