This year we will be celebrating the Feast of St Patrick on Saturday 16 March.   We are celebrating St Patrick in 3 ways, all closely linked: a procession from the Gelle-Frau (the golden statue opposite the cathedral), led  by a piper, to the church of St Alphonse; a Mass with Irish cultural references; then a feast at the back of the church.

Since the beginning of our English-speaking Catholic community here in Luxembourg, the Irish community has been one of the main driving forces in our parish, in terms of faith, practical engagement, and supporting a spirit of openness to all-comers. And wherever there are Irish people, there is, of course, a celebration of St Patrick. His Feast Day, is a celebration of the whole missionary activity of our Church.

Assemble at the Gelle-Frau at 10:40 for the procession to the church, Saturday 16th March:

Mass at 11:00

Feast in the church, 11:45-ish.

All welcome. And all must bring at least 2 friends who have never participated in a St Patrick’s Day celebration before.

Everyone interested or involved in catechesis (education in the faith) in the Catholic Church in Luxembourg is warmly invited to the Catechesis Forum 2019 at the Centre Jean XXIII on Saturday 30 March from 9:30 to 17:30.

The aim is to share experiences and to exchange insights on catechesis from childhood to adulthood with guest speakers from the English-speaking Church in different parts of Europe.

Participation is free-of-charge but advance registration is required.
