The fourth CONNECT event for young people aged between 18 and 35 years will take place in UCC on Sunday February 18th 2024 from 9:45am to 4:00pm

Previous CONNECT events have been very successful in bringing young adults together to celebrate their faith and to find support and nourishment for their faith journey today.

Our guest speaker on February 18th is Monsignor James Shea from the United States. Monsignor Shea is a very well-known and much sought after speaker in the United States and is the President of the University of Mary, Bismarck, North Dakota.

At a recent gathering of twenty thousand young people at the SEEK24 Conference held in St. Louis, Missouri, Monsignor Shea received standing ovations from the young adults present for his inputs. He is a dynamic presenter, very tuned in to the challenge of faith in contemporary culture. He is also very aware of the challenges we face as Church in Ireland today. We are therefore very excited to have him speak at CONNECT 4.

As well as talks and discussion the day will include Mass, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and an opportunity for Confession. Lunch will also be provided.

There is a nominal booking fee of €10
