In our effort to help equip parishes, dioceses, and lay people returning from the National Eucharistic Congress, we want to again offer our free download, "National Study of U.S. Catholics: Knowing Who to Invite and Engage." ACS Technologies worked with researchers to analyze a sample of 34 million people who identify as active Catholics. The study revealed the predominant lifestyles among active Catholics, as well as those less represented. By gaining insights into the composition of our parishes and identifying the gaps, we can enhance our ministries and target our outreach more effectively. This is an immediate, free download (no form!), so follow the link below to claim your free study. Then share it broadly within your parish or diocese and let us know what actions you might take in your efforts to go forth and evangelize, the next step in our national Eucharistic revival! #parishlife #eucharisticrevival #eucharisticcongress #acstcatholic Get the study >> https://bit.ly/4dgIFMu

Derry & Raphoe news:2024 — ‘Daring to Dream’ (An Autumn Reflection from the Archbishops of Armagh) Archbishops John McDowell and Eamon Martin have written the following article, published in today’s Belfast Telegraph and Irish News: In recent months our Churches, in our own particular ways, have been giving thanks for what you might call the “coming good” of creation. The Season of Creation in the Catholic Tradition, and Harvest Thanksgivings in the Church of Ireland have celebrated abundance and variety of nature and the welcome cycle of seed time and harvest. Some, however, refer to this time of the year as “The Fall” – a description which brings to mind the part of the creation which perhaps finds it most difficult to come good – the human element. Having minds and wills and consciences of our own is both our glory and our vulnerability. This season ‘of mists and mellow fruitfulness’, of the changing of the clocks and the falling of the leaves, invites us to consider how the lives of societies and nations – and our own lives – can also “come good” or at least be on a steady trajectory to do so. All over the world governments are coming and going. The EU, UK, USA and imminent Irish elections are among many across the globe this year; around four billion people will have exercised their electoral franchise in 2024. Recently the Irish Church Leaders Group made a short visit to Brussels where we met some of the new faces following the recent elections to the European Parliament. We also encountered familiar faces, including Maros Šefčovič who retains a brief in the Commission for UK-EU relations. In a long meeting we found him to be very engaged and with a detailed knowledge of the situation in Ireland, north and south. Like us, he is keen to see that the Windsor Framework and Safeguarding the Union Deal are used in good faith to rebuild relationships and jointly iron out the issues which will continue to arise as a result of the complications of Brexit. Against such a background of global political change and upheaval, perhaps it is no harm that our own Assembly and Executive are not so new. Instead they are working out a mandate which the parties were given three years ago. Now they have proposed a Programme for Government to help Northern Ireland “come good”. In the constitutional sense people will have different views about what “coming good” means, yet we can all broadly share the sense of what is for the ‘common good’ to know what it is we need to be getting on with. The draft Programme dares to dream of ‘opportunity’, ‘hope’ and ‘partnership’, with priorities given to ‘people’, ‘planet’ and ‘prosperity’, underpinned by a ‘cross-cutting commitment to peace’. Its optimistic tone is a welcome change to the often stagnant and stultifying rhetoric that characterised political commentary here while the Assembly was suspended. The challenge facing all of us is to ensure that our children…
