Lismullin Heritage Talks | Wednesday, April 17
Situated at the foot of the Hill of Tara in the historic Boyne Valley, Lismullin Conference Centre is in an area with a very rich and varied heritage. In this series of Heritage Lectures, we will explore various aspects of our local heritage so that visitors to the Lismullin Conference Centre and our neighbours will have a greater knowledge and appreciation of the history and attractions of their surroundings.
While we recently celebrated the Decade of Centenaries we should perhaps have better remembered that one of the events which occurred in Ireland a century ago was the foundation in 1917 of the Maynooth Mission to China, now known as the Columban Missionaries, of Dalgan Park in Co. Meath. From the time of their foundation up to the early 1950’s when they had to leave the country, most of their work was directed at China. Fr. Eamonn O’Brien is a Columban priest who has been visiting China since 1979 and worked there for twenty years. He has been involved in particular in helping with the foundation in recent years of a new monastery of Augustinian nuns which is also running a home for the elderly. In this lecture he will give an overview of the position of the Catholic Church in China as a whole at the present time.
