“Today we are remembering a paragon of peace, a giant of a statesman whose legacy of unstinting service to the Common Good is internationally acclaimed, even though it is still perhaps only unfolding” - Archbishop Eamon Martin.

Archbishop Eamon Martin has told Leaving Cert and A Level students that the Covid-19 emergency has "gatecrashed what is such an important and special year in your lives, and it has left you wondering: what happens next?”

"His concern for Irish emigrants around the world was constant and heartfelt."

Bishop Donal McKeown gives a message of affirmation to over 800 Catholic educators attending the first Derry Diocesan Religious Education Conference.

"Our teachers are very much at the coal face in a society where there is so much pain, so much anger and so much distress."

"Creeping despair and emptiness ... has tragically taken the lives of too many of our young people through suicide.”

Archbishop Martin concerned that “glamorising” suicide could trigger copycat tragedies.

He was "at heart a quiet Irish man who wrote our story without rhetoric.”
