P.D.R. is a process of parish renewal which takes place in our parish. It was first promoted in the Elphin Diocese in the late 1990’s, and has continued on ever since. Each P.D.R. Group looks at the needs of its own particular parish. P.D.R. Groups are a partnership between parishioners and their priests to look at ways of addressing parish needs. If you would like to know more about P.D.R. please contact St. Mary's Tel: 9162670. FR. FLANAGAN PRAYER GROUP The purpose of the Fr.

Its aim is to respond to the needs of families in Sligo Town and surrounding areas. The Centre provides opportunities to not only nourish us spiritually, but following the Catholic Social Teaching, sees the individual as a whole and so caters for the emotional, intellectual, physical and social needs of the human person. Every week hundreds of people attend programmes which support and enrich family life. One of the most important areas is that of parenting. Mothers and fathers support each other and learn better skills. A wide range of personal development seminars are available in areas such as self-esteem, communication skills and stress management. The centre also provides a place of welcome, support and listening, at times of separation and death, through the Beginning Experience for adults, and Rainbows for children. Spirituality is an important dimension of family life, so many different prayer experiences are on offer in this place of quiet and stillness. For a full list of courses on offer at the centre please Tel: 9170329.
