Public invited to online AGM

THE Denis Hurley Centre (DHC) annual general meeting, stakeholder report back and commemorative prayers will be taking place on-line this year.

The pre-recorded material will be viewable from 7am on Saturday, 13 February, and those who wish can join an interactive Q&A session at 11am.

13 February marks the anniversary of the death of the late Archbishop in 2004.

Usually this is commemorated with the AGM and topical events at the DHC, and special services at Emmanuel Cathedral, but that will not be possible this year because of Covid restrictions.

Instead, a bespoke on-line event has been created to provide feedback to stakeholders, voices from beneficiaries, staff and supporters, prayers from the shrine, and a special contribution by local artists. The on-line material will be launched the morning of 13 February and can be viewed from 7am and available thereafter for people to watch at their leisure.

There will also be an on-line opportunity to meet, engage, network and fellowship with fellow attendees. The DHC is inviting people for a live interactive Q&A session at 11am on 13 February, for which they have to register in advance by emailing Raymond Perrier.

This wide range of on-line material gives stakeholders and the public an opportunity to hear what has been achieved over the past very difficult year, to learn more about this busy centre in the heart of the city and to join others in prayer and remembrance as we commemorate the life of the visionary Archbishop Denis Hurley.

The DHC invites the public to attend this auspicious occasion – and this time supporters from around the world can join in. An invitation is extended to patrons, trustees, donors, Government representatives, partners from other NGOs, volunteers, staff members, service-users, Cathedral parishioners, clergy and people from different Christian denominations and from other religious traditions to log-on.

The Hurley Weekend videos will be available on the Denis Hurley Centre You Tube channel: https://bit.ly/3a2KOxh.
