Originally starting out in 2010 until 2021 our work was based around our flagship weekly radio programme SacredSpace102fm (SS102fm); now the C&SI team aims to work on various podcasts which contribute to the New Evangelisation and spread hope and faith online and on air. This page hosts C&SI's podcasts including our weekly podcast as well as other recordings and inspirational talks which we would like to share with you our listeners.
For our historic information and programme content you can also visit our old blog (2010 to 2019) at https://sacredspace102.blogspot.com/ (Please note that the blog is no longer being updated).

SacredSpace102fm - What can faith communities learn from our Covid experience? - 27th September 2020 (S20E46)
On this weeks programme, SS102fm tries something a little new with our first round table discussion with a fuller panel than usual. We invite Aoife McGrath (St Patrick's College, Maynooth), Noirin Lynch (Margaret Aylward Centre, Dublin) and Martin Kennedy (Pastoral Development and Facilitator) to our kitchen table discussion and to share their thoughts and experience about what our faith communities can learn from our Covid-19 experience.
We have an interesting and humorous sharing of thoughts looking at what we did well, identifying the challenges and gaps that arose and looking to the future what we could learn and where we might go as a faith community.
Focusing on the manifestation of Gospel values in the actions of community spirit during the lockdown we discuss the multi-generational experience where faith became something for life rather than living a life for faith. We discuss the challenges of things like the digital divide in supporting individuals and families and how it posed a challenge to how we are used to "doing" church rather than "being" church. Finally we look to the future and how we need to create spaces for people to reflect on what has happened in small bite size ways where we accompany each other on the journey ahead.
We have our regular notices, a quick run through the saints of the up coming week and a shorter reflection on the Sunday gospel.
Note - due to stricter enforcement of the BAI broadcasting rules, we can only use 30 sec of music on uploads which are broadcast on West Limerick 102fm.
