The gentle sounds and soft awakenings of early summer are reflected in several contributions in the May Messenger which draw inspiration and spiritual insights from the natural world around us. We consider the changing role of Church structures to reflect the new reality of the Irish Church while remaining true to their primary function at the service of pastoral care. In the anniversary month of Fatima, we revisit the tumultuous events and revelations of 1917. And we are introduced to the Church’s first millennial saint, 15 year-old Carol Acutis, beatified in 2020.
