Short Online Reflection “Stay with us Lord; it is almost evening”
May 3 @ 6:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Short Online Reflection "Stay with us Lord; it is almost evening"

The six Western Dioceses (the Tuam Province) have planned a new initiative as part of the ongoing response to the pastoral challenge presented by COVID-19. One of the important Gospel stories of these Easter days is the account of how the two disciples met the Risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus and how they asked him: “Stay With Us Lord; it is almost Evening”.

With this in mind, we are inviting you to join us for a short (20 min) reflection, each Sunday evening at 6.30pm between now and Pentecost. Each reflection will be given by a different guest presenter and will be broadcast on webcam from a different location in the West.

The webcam links will be posted each week.

Sunday 3rd May comes from the Diocese of Elphin. Watch online at 6.30pm on churchservices.tv/strandhill
