The John Main Seminar is an annual event which is organised annually by the World Community for Christian Meditation. It has not been held in Europe for quite a while. ( the last time was in Cork (UCC) about 10 years ago). This year it will be in Bruges, Belgium, from Thursday 20 to Sunday 23 September 2018 and the theme will be
A Contemplative Response to the Crisis of Change
The line up of speakers is interesting to say the least and there is a pre seminar retreat and tour of Bruges followed by the Seminar and afterwards a pilgrimage to Flanders Fields and Ypres. One can choose to participate in all or just some of these trips.

The Irish Club of Luxembourg and Comhaltas Luxembourg have been collaborating to bring an award winning Irish play to Luxembourg:
Tom Crean – Antarctic Explorer, written and performed by Aidan Dooley, will be staged on 27th and 28th April at the Altrimenti Centre in Luxembourg at 7.30pm. see http://www.tomcreanshow.com/ for more details.
Tickets (which are limited owing to the small venue) are €20 each and available from www.luxembourgticket.lu
Tom Crean (1877-1938) the intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes is brought to life in this dramatic and humorous solo performance by Aidan Dooley.
Hear the riveting true stories of Crean’s Antarctic explorations as one of the few men to serve with both Scott and Shackleton and survive three famous expeditions: Discovery, (1901 – 1904); Terra Nova (1910 – 1913); and Endurance (1914 – 1916). Crean’s story is a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of Antarctic, his 36 mile, solitary trek to base camp during the Terra Nova expedition to rescue his comrades Teddy Evans and William Lashly has been described by Antarctic historians as “the finest feat of individual heroism from the entire age of exploration”.
THIS IS NOW SOLD OUT
To mark World Cancer Day, and to raise funds for the Luxembourg Cancer Foundation, there will be a Scottish/Irish Cèilidh featuring a local traditional Irish band Kitchen Quartet (incl. some of our parishoners) on 3rd February 2018.
A cèilidh (Scottish Gaelic spelling) or cèilí (Irish Gaelic spelling) is a traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering, involving music, dancing, and merriment.
