CITI students to lead Holy Week in Dungannon on the Theme of Story
A large number of the students of the Church of Ireland Theological Institute are to decamp from Dublin to the Parish of Drumglass, Dungannon (Diocese of Armagh) during Holy Week this year, from Monday 18 April to Good Friday, 22 April, in order to undertake a wide range of services and activities in St Anne's, Dungannon and St Elizabeth's, Moygashel. This is a new and innovative undertaking for the students and indeed for the host parish.CITI Director, the Revd Dr Maurice Elliott, said, 'We are embarking on this teaching mission with a sense of anticipation. Many students have been working hard in preparation for the different events and we are excited by the potential of what we can realise by getting alongside parishioners. It is a great opportunity, which, as far as we're aware, is a new thing for students to do, certainly in recent memory. It promises to be a memorable and worthwhile experience for everyone.'
