Bishop Brendan Leahy joins the SS102fm team for a chat looking at various items. We have a discussion with Bishop Brendan looking at various things including:
- His highlights of the year just gone where he focused on the "special-ness" of the annual Chrism Mass and the ecumenical solemn Carrying of the Cross on Good Friday from St Mary's Cathedral to St John's Cathedral.
- We examine the state of vocations in the diocese including the fact that Limerick doesn't seek priests from abroad and his openness to considering the introduction of the permanent diaconate.
- The developments in relation to the Pastoral Units within the diocese.
- What does he think of the move in the Dublin archdiocese to move sacramental preparation towards a parish based model.
- Responding to the issue of growing public levels of racism.
- Things undertaken during the year to promote ecumenism
