To the showing of a short reenactment film outdoors using locals at the spot Dr Muldoon was murdered. 

We will then proceed into Casey's pub to hear a short talk about the court case by Ken Boyle, author of "The Murder of Dr Muldoon '' and RTE Tim Desmond. The night will end with a traditional session in Fitz pub with the Kellegher family and singer Fionnuala Maxwell. We hope you can come out to support this event.

Seeing your life through the Lens of the Gospels

Jesus leads the woman along a wonderful journey towards a deeper, fuller human life. You can enter the story from the perspective of the woman. Recognise her resistance to growth, her complacency, her evasions, and her eventual acceptance, partial though it was, of Jesus. When have you, or others, made a similar journey in your relationship with God? with others? with your own self?

The woman is attracted by what Jesus is saying, but from very human motives: the thought of having water in such a way that she did not have to come and draw it from the well. We can be attracted to Jesus by very mixed motives, some of them matters of personal interest – belonging, community, security, … What have been the human motives that have attracted you to faith, prayer, religion, church and that have been steppingstones to a deeper personal relationship with Jesus. Perhaps we can also see the same movement in the growth of some of our human relationships.
