The days have gone well. Since last post, I’ve had the privilege of baptizing seven children in the Cathedral of St Agnes on Sunday last. It was a lovely celebration and great to see so many people there. One of the children was named “McGregor” (first name!!) and I did…
Still on “The Island”! Thankfully still enjoying it too. Met some wonderful people and had the chance to work with some great priests and a deacon who is to be ordained a priest of Clogher Diocese. That, in itself, has been great to see. I watched him as he led…
He let His glory be seen ….. On Saturday evening, when going to Mass in Urlaur for the Vigil Mass, I noticed a most glorious sunset and sky. Though tight enough for time, I bypassed the Church and went to Urlaur Lake. I’ve been here long enough to know that…
Looking through Twitter yesterday I noticed this photo and it caught my eye. An image captured from one of the many marches around the world that sought to express something less than pleasure at the election of the Donald Trump as President of the United States, the slogan was a…
On Friday, I had the privilege of celebrating the Wedding Mass of my nephew Ronan and his bride Ursula. The wedding was in the Cathedral in Cavan Town and it was an enjoyable occasion. I baptized Ronan when I was a deacon – and he’s the only “Vincent” I’ve ever…

Just looking again at photos from last week, I am reminded that a week ago today we visited the Cathedral in Tegucigalpa on our way to the airport. It’s the Cathedral of Michael The Archangel and is truly beautiful. We spent a bit of time there and its size allowed…
Over the few days in Honduras I took photos. I’ve already shared some of them in previous posts. I’m going to include a good few of them here now, without words, since photos tell their own story. I won’t mention Honduras or Trocaire again until Lent 2017. So this is…
Just attended Sunday Mass. a gentle and welcoming priest made us all feel at home. The church was large, unlike the congregation, and the atmosphere one of joy and worship. The priests in our group; Paul, Eddie, Dominic, Michael and myself concekebrated. The other members together with Trocaire staff were…
An early start had our group leaving hotel at 5.50am and heading for the airport to take a flight from the capital to San Pedro Sula. In three hired cars we travelled to Omoa Cortés, a small community of some 85 families that is situated on the shore line of…
