Plans are being finalised for the annual Galway Cathedral Novena which is to take place from February 2nd to 10th featuring a mix of lay and religious speakers
They include a former medical doctor, a father who endured the tragic murder of his daughter, a missionary working with young people across Europe, and a mother and teacher who lives her vocation through family life
John Buckley's daughter Karen was murdered in Glasgow, Scotland as a 24-year-old nursing student while Keith Kelly from Westport struggled to find his way until he made a pilgrimage to Medjugorje
Fr John Gerard Acton says the event, which is now in its 42nd year, will have three sessions daily on weekdays and four at the weekend
