Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh Diocesan Synod 2023

The Annual Meeting of the Diocesan Synod of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh took place on Saturday 14th October in Carrick–on–Shannon, Co. Leitrim. The day’s proceedings began with a celebration of Holy Communion in St George’s Church.

In his sermon, based on the third chapter of Philippians,  Bishop Ferran Glenfield spoke of the Apostle Paul’s ambition and desire for the Greek church – that they know Jesus and make Jesus known.  He encouraged the congregation to keep focused on this goal and to put Jesus at the heart of all our relationships – our relationship with God and our relationships with one another and to deepen and develop these relationships by the Spirit. Following the service, the Synod moved to the nearby Bush Hotel to continue with the day’s proceedings.
