Cavan native involved in Easter Week faith podcasts
A Cavan native will be working as a contributor to Faithcast, the weekly faith podcast from the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
The podcast, which is usually published weekly, will now have a daily episode from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.
Brenda Drumm, Catholic Communications Office, and a native of Belturbet, will take part in the planned special Holy Week series, which will focus on how people of faith can live in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.
Faithcast is a mixture of interviews, news and stories of faith from the Catholic Church in Ireland.
Brenda previously served as media and communications manager for the World Meeting of Families (WMOF) and the Pope's visit to Ireland back in 2018.
She also does a weekly religion, reflection and social issues programme on KFM Radio.
Other contributors to the Holy Week reflection series will be Archbishop Eamon Martin, Archbishop of Armagh, Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Dromore and Primate of All Ireland; Bishop Denis Nulty, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin; Bishop Fintan Monahan, Bishop of Killaloe; Caoimhe de Barra, CEO of Trócaire; Brother Richard Hendrick Ofm Cap; Father Vincent Sherlock of Achonry Diocese; and Ger Gallagher, Pastoral Worker in Dublin Diocese.
Contributors to the series will reflect on the meaning and symbolism of each of the days of Holy Week, beginning with a reflection from Brother Richard Hendrick on Palm Sunday and taking us through the week, concluding on Easter Sunday with a message from Archbishop Eamon Martin.
Commenting on the Faithcasts, Archbishop Eamon said, “As we prepare to celebrate Holy Week at home this year, we are offering people a chance to hear from different voices of faith. These daily reflections from bishops, priests and lay people will hopefully offer listeners a pause for thought from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.”
