Our aim in the Clonard
Reconciliation Project
is to contribute in various ways
towards the transformation of relationships
between Catholic and Protestant congregations of the Church
at local level in Northern Ireland,
particularly through the arrangement of “unity pilgrimages”
and the gradual development of inter-church fellowships
between Catholic and Protestant congregations
after the model of the Clonard/Fitzroy Fellowship
Peace without Ecumenism will not grow.
Ecumenism and Peace are both a pilgrim journey!
We tell about the vision that inspires our Ecumenism and Peace Ministry
and the small steps we are taking.
Though there is nothing small if God is in it!
We tell of the progress we are making
and the things we are learning on the road.
Questions arise which we share with you.
St Luke tells us that at the beginning the disciples of Jesus
"with one accord, devoted themselves to prayer,
together with Mary the Mother of Jesus"
(Acts of the Apostles 1.14).
Like them, we too pray for the gift of the Spirit
"May they all be one" (John 17.21).
Each part of the Ecumenism & Peace section
of the Web Site is open for your input.
