Temperance Sunday 3 February 2008 |
|
"What a great legacy and gift it would be for our children in this new emerging country of ours if we would be the generation brave enough to promote and work for an attitude and culture of moderation rather than excess in our use of alcohol. This would help us all to live our faith fully." This quote from the Pastoral Letter from the Irish Bishops’ Conference, "Alcohol: the Challenge of Moderation" (2007) sets the theme for this year's celebration of Temperance Sunday. It comes at the end of Catholic Education Week and helps us reflect on the choices we make each day that shape the future for ourselves, our children and our country. Resources are offered courtesy of the Catechetics Commission of the Irish Bishops' Conference.
