Welcome to our new ACI Look, enabled by the generosity of our members!
In December 2019 we were waiting patiently for a response from the Irish Catholic Bishops Conference - to ACI's Report on lay Involvement in Parishes, in light of the vocational call to all of the baptised at Vatican II.
We had no idea of what would be hitting the whole world when this new 'Look' would launch. Or that intense prayer would be needed right now - to maintain serenity as family life is disrupted, and 'home schooling' may well be ongoing - and very close and dear loved ones may be in danger of leaving us without a proper 'goodbye'.

Prayer of the Faithful
