Season 3 Episode 29
On this weeks podcast we are delighted to welcome on Fr Chris O'Donnell SAC, originally from Templeglantine Co. Limerick, who is currently on leave home from Argentina where he has been working as a missionary priest for 47 years. He shares with us his vocation story and his work in Argentina since 1976. He shares with us the challenges of the first few years which were hazardous as the military junta were in power and security was strictly controlled. Priests and religious were included in daily moments of being closely watched. Fr Chris shares moments of close encounters with the military as well as lovely memories with his parishioners. He describes the enthusiasm of the laity to becoming involved with the liturgy including those working as lay catechists, He shares his hopes that the synod process will produce more opportunities for the laity to become more involved with parish life.
