4 Corners 2026 FestivalThe 4 Corners Festival invites you to explore the profound meaning of ‘Journey’ in our beloved Belfast. Every life is a journey – a weaving of roads taken and roads left behind, of moments that move us, change us, and call us onward. Journey is the story of movement and change – the way we grow through what we meet along the road. And as we journey together through this year’s Festival, we are invited to see change itself as grace – renewing our hearts, our communities, and our city. A full festival programme is available in the Church for you to take home.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK will run from 18th –24 Jan 2026 with the theme,
Normal Lives, Called to Holiness. Inspired by Pope Francis’ reflection on St Carlo Acutis, the 2026 theme invites pupils, teachers, families and parishes to explore the call to holiness as something both universal and accessible. Holiness is not for a few, but for all; not reserved for religion professionals or mystics, but for every student, teacher , parent and Grandparent living each day in friendship with Jesus Christ.
