Second Collection

Episcopal Hierarchy Commissions, 23/24 July

Following on Vatican II, the Bishops of Ireland found it necessary to set up a number of Commissions to help meet the needs of the present-day Irish Church, e.g. Catechetics, Clergy/Seminaries/Vocations, Communications, Doctrine, Ecumenism, Education, Emigrants, Justice and Peace, Laity, Liturgy, Missions, Pastoral, Press and Information, Research and Development, Religious, Social Welfare.

Each diocese is levied for the annual running expenses of these Commissions, and it is in an effort to meet this levy that this collection is being taken up.
