Archbishop Eamon Martin Issues Pastoral Letter

Archbishop Eamon Martin issued a pastoral letter titled Go, Rebuild My Church to help the Archdiocese of Armagh move from discussion to practical mission. The letter will be read at Masses throughout the archdiocese this weekend.

The Archbishop connects the letter to the Diocesan Congress on Youth, Family and Faith held in March 2026. During that congress, clergy, religious, teachers, families, and young people discussed topics including prayer, liturgy, communication, and the challenges facing modern faith.

The letter marks the start of a new phase intended to put the findings of the congress into practice. Archbishop Martin uses the story of St. Francis of Assisi to encourage the community to renew the Church through lives shaped by the Gospel, peace, and service to the poor.
