Pockets of Hope Pilgrimage on 30 July 2025
Fr. Ubaldo and nineteen parishioners, from the partnership parishes of St. Mary’s and St. Patrick’s, began our spiritual journey in St. Andrew’s Church, Westland Row. Fr. Ubaldo concelebrated the 10.00 am Mass, while recently ordained Deacon John assisted.
Four Dublin city centre churches have been designated as a Pockets of Hope pilgrimage site for this Jubilee Year of Hope. In each sacred place, pilgrims can find quotes from the late Pope Francis’ document, ‘Hope does not Disappoint’. We followed the suggested route, praying and reflecting together – with a few hymns thrown in! We would recommend you doing it in the coming months - you do not need to be part of a group. The longest walk is from City Quay (where this photo was taken) to Sean McDermott Street and this part takes about 20 minutes.
Our visit to Our Lady of Lourdes church in Sean McDermott Street was one of the highlights of our morning! Fr. Selva Thomas was there to meet us and was most welcoming. Sr. Maria Lawless shared so much with us about the parish, especially about Venerable Matt Talbot, and the new museum with artefacts from his life. This was an added bonus and will be a lasting memory for many of us of our Pilgrim Walk.
